Dear Pit Bull Chat,

At what point do you stop attacking a dog that attacked yours?


I need help with a rather sticky situation. [Michigan]

I apologize if this isn't the correct forum for this post. I was unable to find any legal questions forum. I love my brother and his Pit Bull Ozzy. This entire situation makes me sick and we need help. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

I have a big problem. My brother owns a Pit Bull in Lansing Michigan. Last night he broke his collar and attacked a neighbors dog. While the neighbor was holding Ozzy *my brothers pit bull* down by his collar and allowing his dog to attack him, he ended up getting bitten by Ozzy. The bite happened because Ozzy tried to defend himself. I have video of the entire incident. Good quality, and you can see everything.

After allowing his dog to attack Ozzy for nearly a minute. They finally separated the dogs. The neighbors dog continued to viciously go after Ozzy while Ozzy showed no further interest in fighting. After dogs were seperated, he (the neighbor) continues to hit, choke, slam his head on the concrete and do everything he can do damage Ozzy and "try to kill him". Those are the words he said to my brother. What I need is legal help. My brother is very passive and doesn't defend himself very well and has NO idea where to turn. If he allows it, he will be completely railroaded in this situation, to say nothing of what will happen to Ozzy and further Pit Bull reputation in the area.

The neighbor said, in his statement to the police. "That dog came after my throat and my dog stopped him". In the video you can see that not only did Ozzy bypass him completely, he never once tried to bite the PERSON holding him down and choking him during the entire event. Even after getting punched several times, choked and having his head slammed into the concrete. All Ozzy did during, even THAT, was try to get away. I need help, please. We need resources and ideas for legal protection. I will provide the video once I know it's legal and safe to do so and to the proper person.

Thank you very much for your time and any help that anyone here may be able to offer.

Concerned Pit Bull lover and brother.


a few naive fur mommies commiserate with the OP then WHAM! awesome response

Here's the deal.

Tell your brother to go in the bathroom, look in the mirror and say......WAY TO GO DUMBASS! YOU'RE TOO DUMB TO CONTAIN YOUR DOG NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!

Get rid of the dog and be done with it. He's too stupid to be a responsible owner and if I was the neighbor I would have went and got a metal crowbar and split that fuckers head open. I don't know wtf you expect from people when a dog comes onto THEIR PROPERTY and starts to maul their dog. All your sympathy begging captions doesn't change the fact of who is in the wrong and who is in the right here.

SHITTY OWNERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!! It makes all responsible owners look bad!

Bleeding heart Edward M. Czuprynski

clusterfuck in bay city michigan remember convicted felon and pit nutter HARRY McDANIEL? he was walking his mutant at the moment that 8 yr old Cameron Everette was walking home, slipped and fell on the ice and triggered an attack by McDANIEL'S mutant? well, HARRY'S sad story has tugged on the bleeding heart strings of a local criminal defense attorney. EDWARD CZUPRYNSKI feels that the ex-con (drugs) has gotten a BADRAP. CZUPRYNSKI was so moved by HARRY'S plight that he took the case at a reduced fee. he wants to "make some justice happen for Harry", screw the boy and his injuries. CZUPRYNSKI was very quick to point out that even the victim's stepfather thought HARRY was a good man. CZUPRYNSKI said the reports of the dog's viciousness are HOOPLA.

CZUPRYNSKI'S very own HOOPLA

CZUPRYNSKI'S 1993 appeal for a 1992 drug conviction. it is a very interesting read. you will find out why the judge sentenced him to 14 months in a federal pen for such a small amount of pot. it seems that the judge considered CZUPRYNSKI'S 1974 drug conviction and his 1983 arrest and acquittal for drugs into the sentence.

i find it to be a rather interesting coincidence that he has 2 glowing reviews and both were done in the last 2 weeks.

last august, CZUPRYNSKI threw his hat in the judicial ring. CZUPRYNSKI would like to advocate for the "downtrodden" like HARRY McDANIEL from the other side of the bench.
