weekly frankenmauler roundup 11/05/10

Sebastian

09.22.10 UK David and Debbie Sowdon took their puppy out for his very first walk. Sebastian's first experience in the outside world was in the jaws of an ugly staffy bull. “I could see his face in its mouth and he looked terrified. I still can’t get that image out of my head, it’s horrendous.” turns out the pit nutter was only a dog walker and said "he's never done that before!" the 44 yr old woman was cautioned for allowing the mutant to be dangerously out of control in public. “If these people wish to potentially endanger their own family, on their own property, then so be it. In public, there should be a zero tolerance approach.” i agree David!

10.30.10 UK the British Horse Society wants the police to step up and do their job after the recent surge in dog attacks. the BHS notes the recent death of Justina the 27 yr old arabian mare, the incident of 2 ridgebacks lunging at a horse (notice the ridgebacks did not make physical contact with the horse) and the horse in this photo. this is one of two horses that were attacked in Dulwich Park last month. the rider was thrown and suffered a back injury. the horse fled WITH THE DOG ATTACHED to its chest. gee, i wonder what kind of dog this was? the BHS has launched a website dedicated to dog attacks on horses. victims, please click the link and tell them your story.

Bullet

11.01.10 huntsville, alabama 8 month old Bullet was curious about the ugly mutant in the fence next to him. so Bullet did what all dogs do, explore with their nose.

11.01.10 copiah county, mississippi shoot, shovel & shut up. residents have been complaining about a mutant pit bull attacking and killing dogs and a cat. after getting no action from authorities, they took matters into their own hands - they shot it. aaahh, the "good old days". WLBT found the JOE COOPER family burying it when they went to the area to cover the story. the neighbors confirmed the callers complaint and sheriff confirmed the complaints.

"The one who owned the dog had been put in the penitentiary on a drug related charge, and unfortunately I couldn't get him to take the dog with him to the penitentiary. We have been trying to catch the dog, we have been unsuccessful in that attempt. I contacted the dog owner's father, and the father I think is taking steps to apprehend the dog." Sheriff Jones said.

Hero Harley was "chewed up around the lips, mouth and tongue". Daddy's Girl was the most seriously injured. the vet spent four hours sewing up her face, jaw and legs. the vet said she may not survive. one dog has been caught and the microchip has given authorities a lead. i am sure there will be plenty of excuses like, "that's not my dog anymore, i can't remember who i gave it." Daddy's Girl died

rip Chalk

11.03.10 UK Jackie Nolan was bitten defending her yorkie from 2 staffy bulls.

"They surrounded my dog and started biting his hind end, I was kicking the dogs trying to get them off and the owner of the Staffs walked over with no urgency to get them off. By this time I was knocked to the floor by the dogs and screaming, he calmly said his dogs should be allowed to run free the same as other dogs."

an identical attack happened in the same spot 30 minutes earlier to another yorkie, this one survived. the culprits are described as a white male, aged between 45 - 55, short grey hair, approx 5’ 10” wearing spectacles, a grey fleece, dark jeans and green wellington boots. two brown Staffordshire terriers and a dark coloured Collie.

Hugo Cervantes said his chihuahua was playing fine with the pit bull and then all of the sudden, the mutant grabbed a hold of the little dog and wouldn't release. when animal control arrived, the pit was being "the friendliest animal ever." Cervantes got another little surprise when he found out that the city's newly revised code does not cover dog on dog attacks. is the chako media whore behind this?

11.04.10 canada BANA the great MUTATO is now the great DIRT NAPPO! BANA'S PROUD owner GRAY ARTHUR skipped court the day three people testified against him for attacking people and at least TWO dogs. the pit nutters had been cited several times since 2006.

11.04.10 internet morons Well, my boyfriend and I have been doing the long distance thing for almost a year since we graduated college. He will be starting law school in my town in the fall and plans on moving here in June. His dream since he was a little boy has always been to own a Pit Bull.

And no, it is not for machismo or for security or what not. He has always loved the breed, researched it for years, and has all these training plans for it including puppy training school, agility training, etc.He actually hates that people breed/train these dogs for the wrong reasons and we are both very aware of the stereotypes of the breed.

The problems are:

1. He will be in law school. Not much time for a pup, especially one requiring extra socialization.

2. I have a Miniature Dachshund and i have read that you should not leave a pit bull alone with a small dog (and no I do not believe everything I read) but I would never forgive myself if something happened to her!

3. This is a man I see myself marrying. We will likely someday be living together. My mom HATES pit bulls. she is not educated about them but is very stubborn in her disregard for the breed. My neighbors small dog was killed in its own fenced in backyard by a pit bull and she judges the entire breed now. How can I get her to accept my bf’s new pit bull puppy as part of the family and a safe dog??

So basically, I am looking for some advice, suggestions, or even jusr reassurance that Pit Bulls are great dogs. I have always defended the breed but after my neighbors dog was attacked by a “nice, home-raised and well trained” Pit bull, I have doubts I just can’t supress.

11.04.10 atoka, tennessee one of JOHN BECKMAN'S ugly mutant pit bulls was shot and killed (yippee!) when two of them bolted out of the house and charged across the street menacing another neighbor. the dog was shot as it should have been , especially in light of the fact that it mauled their dog previously and menaced the family twice within the last week.

11.05.10 buffalo, new york Chewie has been attacked on two different occasions by the same mutant pit bull. the first attack, Chewie was able to escape serious injury but not this time. neighbors say the pit has been a problem. animal control has confirmed three complaints about the mutant. Chewie's vet bill is at $1000. the pit nutters have apologized but i didn't read anything about reimbursement of vet bills. i guess they are not THAT sorry.
