Last week a girl brought two stout male pit bulls to the park, and one pit ended up going after another dog.
Sounds like the classic situation, right?

Except both of these pit bulls were lushes. Waggy tails. Big smiles. Kissy face greetings. The more active male would roll on his back for smaller dogs and liked to play chase in the group.

The other dog was not aggressive, per se, but he was very outgoing and a bit of a devious shyster.
He would go around picking off other dogs who weren't aware and then run away.

They had been playing together for half an hour or so and then the park started filling up
Lots of excitement. Too much excitement.
The other dog started playing harder and harder and I guess the male pit had enough at some point.

The thing was....the pit didn't draw blood even after catching the shyster several times.
Big scary bark. That's it.
About a 2/10 to 4/10 on the effort scale.

That pit was well socialized early, and a good dog.
It was the fault of preventable circumstance by owners.
