No it's from someone that makes a living from dogs. Not a fan of his methods, but he does make a living from it.
As opposed to the experts on here - most of whom can't tell one kind of dog from another. |

"Dog bites that made the news" now is used as the basis of a study that you extend to all dogs. Try this - from the liberal bible - for a counter argument. One that mentions -real- actuarial risk. The Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics Behind Dog Bites | The Huffington Post |

Its always hard to know what to make of statistics without precise context and carfull consideration. However its ironic the Huffington Post Would defend their position of flawed statistics by making a bunch of specious arguments based on statistics.
Of course more people die from choking on food than a dog bite. The exposure to such risk (eating) is many orders of magnitude greater since you know everybody eats, often. Not everybody plays with pitbulls 3 times per day. If they did the "statistics" might favor the hot dog. Its hard to know if pittbulls should be considered "dangerous" in general terms. I searched a few days ago when this thread came out and you can find arguments both ways

All of the labs I have had over the years were exactly like the dog pictured. Would let any child handle them, and they knew their place in the pack, and it was not 2nd in command. If they were unhappy with the treatment they were getting from a small child, they would get up and move closer to me, not strike out at the kid. I have no use for an animal in my house that is not a friendly companion to all.

Labradors and other "tame family dogs" have killed small children. Not often, but it happens. When I raised my two kids, we had no large dogs until the kids were older.
You can raise your kids however you see fit. JR |

O.k., so all kidding aside, what is the point that you hoped to make with this? Shirley, you did not somehow expect said champion blood line dog to find his own way to fame and fortune in the field trial game. All I'm seeing is someone who bought way more dog than they ever intended to train and use, thereby squandering their money and his potential. Put in the proper hands, this dog probably would have blossomed. Just because your sister did not fully utilize his potential in no way indicates that potential was not there.

In other words, our staunch advocate of environment is everything and breeding is vastly overstated has run out of answers.

Some dogs bite faster and harder than others, just like some cars are heavier, go faster and brake worse than others.
Some people should not have pit bulls, some people should not drive fast cars, some people should not drive at all. If you own cars, dogs or guns, be careful. If you don't any of the above three, be careful, some idiot next door might have one.

Why did they go to the trouble of picking up after the dog, carrying it to the trash can, but did not lift the lid and put it in the can?

Just saw on the local news here in Atlanta - one child dead and another seriously injured. The dog owner has been taken into custody. Seems there were possibly 2 dogs. News footage showed officers firing weapons at one which was soon caught.
