Knowing that her dogs could be aggressive if confronted, i think she did the right thing by muzzling, leashing and warning other owners (why someone would want a dog like that is beyond me... but I don't like loud Harleys nor tattoos either)

My neighbor last year got really pi$$ed off at another neighbor who was walking their two pit bulls past their house. They were choked because one of the bulls slipped his leash and chased their dog onto their own property and started to attack it pretty hard. What came out later was that both the pit bulls being walked were on leash and muzzled and my neighbors little heinz57 mutt was not on a leash and ran out to the road barking at the two bulls. Their pet mutt was running in circles around the dog walkers, barking the whole time and getting the pit bulls really fired up. The owner of the leashed pit bulls was trying his best to get his dogs past my neighbors house but something on one leash let go. The pit bull owner said he had to put muzzles on his dogs because there are so many loose dogs in the neighborhood that run up to them and he's worried his dogs might/could kill one of those annoying mutts that press their luck. And that was my comment to my neighbour, that they made more effort to control their dogs than she does. She is one of those stand on the porch yelling at her dog (hasn't worked yet) rather than go get him or, better yet, contain her dog. I mentioned that as nice as her dog is he has come close to knocking my kids off their bicycles when he comes barreling down their driveway at them. I like my neighbors and their dog, but I did point out to them that their precious runs out and barks at everyone who walks past their house.


Her response? "Well how could anyone be afraid of my precious... he's sooo cute"

So who is more at fault, the pitbull/rottweiler owner who keeps his animals contained or the other dogowner who does not? As the saying goes, takes two to tango.
