The first time I saw it, I froze.
My neighbor's son was trying to scare it away, and it simply stood there checking him out.
An adult male pit bull. I'm not sure if it was the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier or Staffordshire Bull Terrier. But it was a pit bull, with tail wagging and tongue hanging.
I wasn't buying any of it.
I'm not a fan of this breed.
I've reported on too many pit bull attacks and the response by the owner is always the same. "It's the sweetest dog, who's never shown any type of aggression before."
I yelled to my neighbor's boy to walk away and stop waving his arms. My son came out of the house and I told him to turn around and walk back inside.
The dog stood there staring at me and I was looking back at him. I yelled at him to take off using a few bits of profanity. Almost humorous considering the dog has no clue as to what I'm saying, only reacting to voice inflection and rhythm.
But this is no joke, it's a pit bull.
I walked back to my house and picked up a Bakersfield Blaze mini-baseball bat, the only thing I could find at the moment. By the time I came back, he was gone. It was then I heard my son screaming from the house that the dog was in the backyard.
That's where the one-eyed cat my son rescued was hanging out. Nice little snack for the pit bull if he saw it, but he didn't.
I came out swinging, at anything metal or could make a loud noise. The dog paused and then ran away through the pasture. There were no horses out at the time, or they would have ended this threat with one kick.
I called Sheriff's dispatch, to tell them a male pit bull with no ID tag was loose in my neighborhood with kids and small animals.
The dispatcher asked me if it was being aggressive or if it attacked anyone. No, on both counts. She told me it was the weekend, and animal control wouldn't be back in until Monday. I asked what I was suppose to do, wait until it attacked someone before you came out. She basically said yes and offered to leave a message for animal control.
Sure, I've got a message for animal control, don't put the general public in a position with having to deal with a potentially dangerous animal.
My wife told me it's not the dogs fault that it's a pit bull, and I told her this isn't personal, it's business.
I can't work around A.C.'s schedule when this kind of animal suddenly shows up. I'm not going to wait until my child is hurt or an animal attacked before someone responds.
True this dog was showing no aggression, but it's a PIT BULL.
Maybe the breed gets a bad rap from the media, who never reports on a pit bull doing anything good. It's also true that any dog has the capacity to bite someone. But people don't die if a Schnauzer flips out.
Famous pit bull owners include Jessica Alba, Michael J. Fox, West Coast Choppers owner Jesse James, Rachel Ray and even Jon Stewart.
I'm happy for them and their pit bulls. Hopefully, they exercise a little responsibility. Beginning with a 5-foot high electric fence around the property and at the very least a dog tag.
Because if this pit bull shows up in the neighborhood again, it will be the last time anyone sees it.

I think the key here you mentioned is society is filled with many individuals who aren't responsible with their pets.
Pit bulls do have a bad rep but it is mostly the owners fault.
This pit sounds harmless.
Animal Control's weekend policy is neglectful to our community, and I've dealt with it before in an eerily similar situation.
We have to trust that every Pit Bull owner in our city is going to be actively responsible and mindful of their dogs? I've owned numerous dogs who found creative ways to get out of my yard, and I put a solid effort into keeping them behind my fence. It's too much of a risk.
There are numerous animals that are considered too dangerous to keep as pets, and they're banned in communities all over this country. The difference here is that spoiled dog owners have banned together enough and cried that their animals are the real victims here.
These are great comments. I think the pit sounds harmless. But I admit I would have gotten nervous too. I haven't been around dogs for a long time. So I think I would have scared it away too...as my heart raced a bit.
This entire article is based on nothing but assumptions. An assumption that the pit might attack the child...but it didn't. An assumption that the pit might eat the cat for a snack...but it didn't. I am a pitbull owner, and I also have two cats, and a chihuahua, and my pit is the least aggressive of them all...in fact, she's not aggressive at all. It's people like you that give pits a bad name...because you're fearful of a breed you know nothing about. Do some research...almost any dog can be aggressive, depending on his training and environment. Golden retrievers, cocker spaniels, and Yorkshire terriers have all been involved in fatal attacks. It's the owner's responsibility to make sure that their pet is safe around other people and animals. Educate yourself and others on being a responsible dog owner instead of adding to people's fears about a certain breed with articles such as these...
Good point. My heart would race in a stand down with a Chihuahua too. I'll make sure Hart reads these comments today.
I'm not sure about dog bite statistics but 77% (approximately) of all dogs pass the temperment test, while a whopping 95% of pitbulls pass. As a breed the pitbull does better on the temperment test than retrievers, labs, dalmations, and almost any other "family friendly" breed there is. The german shepherd is bred to ATTACK PEOPLE while the pitbull is bred to attack DOGS. Pits rarely bite people is BECAUSE OF not in spite of their selective breeding for fighting purposes. A human-aggressive pit couldn't be safely fought and would be put down, so almost every trace of "human aggressive genes" was wiped out from this breed at one point. Oh, and look up that printout on the internet that has a picture of about 15 different breeds of purebred dogs and asks you to identify the pitbull. No one ever gets it right on the first try. Breed mis-identification is one of the 3 biggest problems facing this breed. And in spite of the fact that every flea-bag with a patch on its eye, or some scars, or a big head is labled a pit bull when it bites someone there still aren't numbers to back up the mindless sensationalistic propaganda spewed by our wonderful liberal media. The term "Nany dog" was actually in referrence to the pit bull being bred to safely watch over and protect children.
Just some extra trivia I thought could be brought to this forum. Regards, Rockwell

"This entire article is based on nothing but assumptions."
You're one of the whiny Pit Bull owners I'm talking about. Oh, boo-hoo. It's never your dog.
You said it yourself: "almost any dog can be aggressive, depending on his training and environment." That's exactly right. Any dog can be a hazard if mistreated. The problem with your logic is, you're saying we all have to accept that every pit owner is going to be responsible enough pay enough attention to keep their dog out of dangerous situations.
That can't be done, and it certainly can't be done by someone who thinks their Pit is the least aggressive animal they own.
The Pit Bull breed is strong and has a propensity for violence. Sure, some are nice - heck, a lot of them are nice - but they can become scared and they're more dangerous than most breeds at that time. I'm not trusting you or anyone else to watch your dog 24/7. I think they shouldn't be allowed as pets.
As an active member of PETA, got me thinking on SO MANY different levels. Animals are products of their environments. Yes, pits have a bad reputation, but who is really at fault for that? Who are the real animals, here? I used to own a pitt and he was loving and affectionate until he died at 14 years old. Ironically, the people I bought him from were arrested for dog fighting. So saying that their aggressive nature is genetic... maybe... they do like to play with their front paws, jump, swim, run. If that's agressive... shihtzus, chihuahuas, and labs are all done for, too.
The only time he ever growled or barked at a human being was when I got in a verbal confrontation with a neighbor who was in my face. Then, he was doing what he was meant to do. Protect. And believe you, me, he knew the difference.
Granted, Animal Control doesn't have Kern County's best interests at heart when it comes to aggressive strays, but what the hell did you intend on doing with a baseball bat? Locking yourself and the child in the house would have been more apropos.
Yes, people should be more responsible with their pets, and yes, animals are amazing escape artists. Laws and ordinances should be stricter about this... but you have to consider, the dog may have been someone's pet. I'm reluctant to put collars on my animals BECAUSE they are so good at getting out. Finding one of them strangles under a fence because of a collar would break my heart. Micro-chip your anumals!!
Pets are a part of your family. they're a part of your heart. no matter the breed, animals have feelings too.
I have issue with the fact that Animal Control is not available on the weekends.
Hello, animals don't work an 8 to 5 week, 5 days a week. I have had an issue on the weekend and really never got any help until the middle of the following week when it was no longer an issue.
One thing to mention that individuals need to know about dogs that might pose a potential threat is, to not make eye contact. Stairing them down only invites them to attack.
I personaly was never fond of pits' I really had that opinion only from the news media. I really had never had a chance to meet one or become friends with one until recently about a year ago. I wanted to take my dog to one of those dog parks. I went to the one on Kroll Way and saw several pits so I decided not to go. Then I decided to drive over to the one on University and was surprised to see several pits there. I was actually scared and left the frist few times just becuase these dogs were there. I went back serveral times and one time did not notice a pit that was there... I was quite unpleasant when my dog went over and started to play with the pit. I was scared. The owner of the pit walked up to me asking me about my dog and then he discribed his dog the "Pit".
I did not at frist know how to react. But since then I have befriended this big baby.
Not only did I befriend this "Pit" who is nothing more then a big baby. But I was on a trip recently with a friend where we stopped by his sisters house to see her dogs... 2 very very large pits. At first meeting them I was so scared and dogs were so enormous and so much muscle. My own dog was taller but he is fluffy and doesn't look like he has any muscles. After spending the afternoon with these pups I have to say that my opinion is now much better and not just from what I read in the paper or on the News.
I know that Pits can be very dangerous but I also know that a lot of the time it's the owners that have created the problem. I am sorry that Animal Control was not available at the time to help you. It is also the owners fault for letting such an animal wonder freely.
I wasn't whining, I was stating facts.
Before I rescued my pit two years ago, I was scared to death of them as well. I didn't go as far as to say that people shouldn't be allowed to have them as pets, however, I was certainly fearful of the unknown. I grew up being told that pitbulls were killers, simply because my family wasn't well-informed about the breed, and neither was I...and apparently, neither are you.
I never said that we all have to accept that ever pit owner is going to be responsible enough to pay attention to their dog to ensure that it doesn't get involved in a dangerous situation...you're putting words in my mouth. What I did say was that we should be educating ourselves and others on how to be responsible dog owners instead of bashing a certain breed of dog. Media exposed breed discrimination serves only one purpose...instilling fear in society.
There are many breeds of dogs that are strong and have a tendency towards violence. Does this mean that people who have Germans, Rotts, Dobbies, etc., should not be allowed to keep their beloved pets?
I think you're the one who's whining. Educate yourself on the breed (and other breeds for that matter)...make friends with a pit...I think you'd be pleasantly surprised. :)
I wouldn't trust a pit bull for a MINUTE. I agree with everything this article had to say. I don't think theres such thing as a "harmless" pit bull. They will turn on you in an instant! I've seen it.
I can understand the fact that there have been so many attacks with Pit Bulls and when it comes down to your kids you do anything to prevent an incident to happen to begin with. That's what's wrong with this world. Assumptions. Like all the people who have gone down a bad road and turned their lives around. Others just like you assume that they will still amount to nothing and don't give them a chance. Before you know it.they are back in the street doing the same thing for the simple fact that they do have to make a living somehow. I had Pit Bulls in my life time and they were all the sweetest most protective animals that I had. I always felt safe. As a puppy, he grew up with my kids and is a part of the family. He stays in his place and knows when and what not to do something. At the same time you wouldn't want to walk in my yard when no one is home because that's just not what people should do with any dog and their yard for that matter. As far as animal control. For them to be closed on wekends make no sense to me. Do they think that animal attacks only happen during the week!!!! Maybe they should start to train police officers on how to take out Pit Bulls since they are such a threat to our community like the the rest of the criminals.
Every dog no matter what the breed is "harmless" until it bites someone. My mom's dog recently bit her friend. Why? It's a family pet. We don't abuse it. It was harmless until it decided not to be for some reason. To his defense, though, I felt like biting her too. Her perfume REEKED. Yuck.
Media, Media, Media.
Educate Yourselves.
I keep hearing this rhetoric, and it's ridiculous. I know how to behave around dogs. My children know not to walk up to dogs they don't know, and we're knowledgeable dog people.
That won't help any of us if a pit bull is loose in our neighborhood and running around. Look at Mike Hart's experience. It doesn't matter if the dog was "sweet" and raised around children. Mike's education about Pit Bulls wouldn't protect the neighbors kid or him from an animal that has been scared or poorly trained.
Education on the breed and experience around them won't protect anyone if an irresponsible person has let their pit run loose. This isn't the dog I'm blaming, it's the owners. Just because I know a lot about guns, doesn't mean a criminal isn't going to be able to shoot me.
Lets stop splitting hairs about just WHO owns a pit bull that's likely to attack someone. Sure you can raise your nice, well mannered pit at home. That's fine. But lets look at the countless (and you can't deny there are) people who get poorly-bred pits and raise them irresponsibly. I can't trust THEM with the dog, and thus, YOU get lumped into their category by default. Is it fair? No. Is it reality? Yes!
I'm sure you guys are great pet owners, and your dogs are well behaved. I'm sure you're putting an effort into protecting innocent people from your animal. The problem is, you aren't the only pit owners out there.
Lets see if we could find a middle ground? Say we don't ban the breed altogether, but require strict registration and mandatory training for the right to ownership - much like a concealed handgun program? Individuals prohibited from ownership would include those with criminal records, and/or a case history of negligent dog ownership.
This way we acknowledge that responsible citizens like yourself can own the animal, and prohibit the dangerous people from creating a dangerous animal. I'd also say we adopt a mandatory $1000 insurance policy for all pit owners like they do in other States. It helps to weed out the person who's not willing to put the resources and care into raising the dog right.
Whaddaya say?
Know what is amazing? People will turn on you in an instant, too. That doesn't apply to just animals. Pits have a bad rep because of the idiots who fight them.
I think that you are ignorant and need to actually get to know the breed before you pick up a bat a try to hit it ....Thnik about it who is more ignorant a persone going after a dog for no reason or a dog just standing there not doing a thing?? I do however agree that people need to be more responsible with their animals not just pit bulls dog attacks happen everywhere with any breed of dog just the other day I was attacked by a cocker spaniel for no reason so does that mean every time I see a cocker spaniel I am going to bring out a bat?? No thats just mean and I think that anyone who hurts an animal who cant express them selves verbally should get what they give.
Alright, time to comment.
I want to thank everyone for their comments so far and give you a little more background on myself so you'll all know where I'm coming from.
I have five dogs, 3 cats rescued from the SPCA and four horses, 2 stallions, 1 gelding and 1 mare.
The dogs are Scottish Deerhounds, a Russian Borzoi, Pembroke Welch Corgi and Miniature Schnauzer.
The small dogs live in the house, while the bigger dogs are housed in kennels and a dog run on the property.
The big dogs are sweet, loving and hyper, but we keep them behind a fence.
My in-laws are dog breeders and horse people as well.
I have an extensive background in dogs and breeds available at my fingertips.
That said, with a little history, a pit bull was originally bred to be a fighter, plain and simple. Yes, dogs are a product of their enviroment no matter what the breed. But it would be irresponsible of me to turn the cheek and allow my children to be around a strange dog, especially a pit bull, because it might turn out to be sweet and nice.
I have known some nice pit bulls, I've also heard, reported on and known too many people who've been attacked and even killed by this breed.
I cannot and will not as a parent allow any stray dogs, especially one with no tags and an aggressive nature, come close to my boys.
If that means grabbing a bat to scare away a pit bull, I will.
There's too much to lose.
I've personally experienced two situations when I've been around people who own this breed, listened to them extol the virtue of this magnificent animal, only to try and show off by taunting the dog later on.
As for security and protection, it's the reputation that prompted you to get a pit bull, right?!
Finally, the pit bulls that I've reported on when there's an attack don't have ID.
I don't believe it's a health issue for their owners, I believe it's because the owners are afraid of being identified if the dog attacks someone.
Pit Bulls don't scare me.
People who shouldn't own this kind of dog, do.
This isn't a matter of ignorance or being uninformed.
I'm not asking for any ban on the breed or that they should all be wiped out, far from it.
I simply ask this.
Keep the dog in your yard.
Don't put me in the position of having to protect my family.
I don't understand why the focus of your post is about the breed of the dog. I've been faced down in my own backyard by an aggressive dog that happened to not be a pit. Why aren't you focusing on the owner of this dog being irresponsible by letting their dog run free? Feels a little racist to me.
Now now, no personal attacks. 7 Bates walked the line (He always does), but he leaves his name. Anonymous, if you're going to call the anchorman with the mini-bat, or I mean giant spiked club, a racist, you have to stop hiding behind a no name or I won't keep allowing comments.
When you do leave your name folks, ease up on the personal attacks.
Of course, this is me being the moderator. If it were left up to the anchorguy, he'd allow any comment under the sun. :)
So, basically you are threatening to murder this dog if it happens to walk down your street again? Are you planning to beat it to death with your baseball bat? You must be a Michael Vick fan.
The fact that your chasing an animal that was probably no tall than your knee cap around with a bat is just hilarious. A grown man scared of a dog??? Stop complaining on the internet and go pet your precious one eyed kitty. haha. Yeah, I am a proud pit bull owner too.
If it comes after you again or you see it acting aggressive just give it a nice firm kick in the face. That will show it who's boss.
I have a friend who Breeds Pit bulls here in Bakersfield. He says he rarely encounters problems with the females... however he says the males are a different story. They are extremely territorial and fight all the time. He says they have mob mentality. Often 4 or 5 dogs will gang up on one of them.
And once they're angry, they have a one-track mind and it's hard to settle them down.
I have to say though, a few months ago, a female pit bull showed up at my door. She was scary looking, but very sweet to me and my roommates. But, she was very violent to all of our neighbors. I watched her charge a grown man in a threatening way. She would then come to me and lick me and whimper like a baby. This went on for like 10 minutes. The neighbor grabbed a bat and told me he'd kill my dog if it came near his kids. I told him the dog wasn't mine, but just had claimed me in some way.
These dogs are extremely protective and while they can be wonderful to their owners... they put the rest of the community in danger. If Owners want to have a pit-bull... they have got to put public safey before the dog... and LOCK THEM UP!
7 bates...your ideas aren't bad ones, but they wouldn't work. If our city was concerned enough with these kinds of issues to begin enforcing stringent laws, and fines, then animal control being available on the weekends certainly wouldn‘t be an issue. It's a terrible system and needs many changes.
Truth about Pitbulls...
http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1583891
do you ever wonder why pits are let loose into the public? They're seen everywhere without tags, well i guess micheal vick kept those creatures of god all together and not on the street.win or lose they're still under supervision.
After reading the comments, I do believe what all of us is true. Mike, Nick and the people who are commenting. I am a pit owner too but where do we draw the line and come to a resolution. Come on guys...is this how you act at home. You are all strating to sound like Pit Bulls.
As far as trying to meet sopmewhere..I think that is the best option. The irresponsible Pit owners need to be fined heavily and warned with jail time. There should be a "How to" class on raising Pit Bulls if it's such an issue. They have "How to be a Parent" classes so what's the big difference. It's educational. Come on Govenor..what do you think?
Now that's a great idea: a "How to" course on raising a pit bull. Don't know how you enforce that... though still a great idea.
There is nothing inherently wrong with Pit Bulls. It's always the owner's fault. The only reason it's pitbulls that get the bad rep is because they are the breed of choice for dog fighters. When they are bred for it, and brought up in an environment of abuse, it can only be expected that they will have a violent disposition. Same goes for any other type of dog, or person for that matter. It is not fair to accuse the breed and threaten to kill someone's dog just because it got out of the yard. Hasn't your dog ever got out? How would you feel if some purposely hit it with a car or worse- like a baseball bat- just because they didn't like the damn breed? Maybe you're just ignorant. But maybe you should take a baseball bat every time you encounter dog fighter, a child abuser, a spouse-abuser, you know, there people we really don't want to encounter on our streets, and would be much better off if they weren't around.
I heard on CNN news last night about a couple of states that completely banned Pit Bulls. So to enforce that would be..either you go to a how to class and become registered and certified to handle your dog or we take it from you. It's that simple. The most important thing is that they get registered.Hell even the dog should be registered. Just like a convict. Take pictures, check for wounds from fighting etc.. It's a process and if these people don't want that breed banned, then I guess they better start acting right. I give my kids 2 options. That's it. Either we do it this way or we can do it that way. No debating. If you don't do it as agreed pon..there will be a consequence.
Realtor 1980, I saw the same CNN special. It threw up a number that I found interesting, of the 2,000 REPORTED dog attacks last year, half were pit bulls.
I'm putting down the bat (for those of you who like to mention it in your comments, get it right a MINI-bat) that I used to scare away the dog.
This has nothing to do with the Michael Vick situation, one that I never mentioned or even related this situation too, so drop it.
This is about a dog that just so happened to be a pit.
Next time I'll leave a _______ so you can insert whatever breed you want.
I refuse to be like many neighborhoods in this town where dogs run freely and in packs where people are afraid to come out of their homes and the action is reactive and not proactive.
Then everyone blames the owners, animal control, society and what not.
I'm NOT advocating the death or destruction of any animal.
I've owned animals all my life and have NEVER hit, slapped, kicked, punched, etc, etc, any animal, mine or someone elses.
I met this pit bull in the street, not in your living room or backyard.
I have no knowledge concerning the treatment this dog or what type of enviroment it is being raised in, but I'm not taking a chance.
How many of you have been to a crime scene involving a dog attack?
How many of you have looked at the victim? (I don't mean on YouTube or video we've shown on ABC23)
I've seen about a dozen attack crime scenes since moving over to news.
I've seen the look on people's faces whose lives were destroyed because the family pet got out.
Owners are the real problem I agree, but you can't deny the breeding.
A member of the Humane Society said last night on CNN that it takes generations, yes generations to breed out the aggressiveness in pit bulls and even then they are not completely sure of the dogs disposition.
I hope the owner is reading this, and I'll make you this promise.
I will go through all the proper channels (like I tried to do Saturday) with the Sheriff's Dept., Animal Control and even a few dog rescue groups I've collected the numbers of, the next time this dog shows up.
An adult male pit bull, black and white, NOT fixed.
If I can get a picture of it, I'll find a way to post it.
I only ask for the opportunity to meet the owner, if he or she will come forward.
You know Mike, three different people have brought up the idea of registration and mandatory classes on how to raise an aggressive breed like a Pit Bull - and someone pointed out that the idea is shortsighted because we can't even get Animal Control to work on weekends, let alone enforce animal control laws like those.
I hate to admit it, but I can't argue with the apathy and indifference that causes so many problems like this.
Maybe you could get the ABC 23 Team to press City/County officials about why they're waiting for someone to be attacked before they bother helping?
Maybe you guys can organize a community meeting for this specific Topic. Get the views of the ignorant as well as those who are responsible Pit owners. We have to meet somewhere. Being an owner myself, I am concerned with the fact that those other States that banned Pit Bulls actually took the ones that were old and harmless and part of the family. That shouldn't have to happen hear. There needs to be a voice and new regulations. And why the hell doesn't animal control work weekends. I don't understand that concept. I called in to Animal control because I saw 3 huge sheep strolling down Norris rd about to cross the street and I stood and watched as nobody showed up. I had to resort to calling the sheriffs department. That's pathetic. Those Sheep could have caused a huge accident.
I don't know if anyone saw this story today, Aug. 29th, just came down the wire.
Tacoma, Washington.
"Two pit bulls attack a Shetland Pony, nearly chewing off it's face.
Almost 300 stitches were needed to repair the injuries to the 9-yr old pony.
His lip muscles and jaw have been damaged, so he has difficulty eating.
The attack happened in the early morning hours of August 25.
Neighbors rushed in with pool cues and beat the dogs away, but not before the damage was done.
The two dogs then disappeared into the neighborhood.
The owners of the pony say the vet bills have passed a thousand dollars.
The Pierce County Sheriff's Department is investigating."
The dogs were said to be covered with so much blood that the owners would know that something or someone had been attacked.
Yet it's been four days and no one has contacted the authorities and the story has been running on local TV and the newspaper for several days.
Realtor 1980, it's unfortunate that responsible owners get lumped in with those who are not.
And all it takes is one attack like the one reported above to keep the stigma in tact.
I like the idea of a forum on the topic and plan to talk to my news director and G.M. about it.
I think the laws you're talking about in some states where they rounded up ALL the dogs is unfair, but something needs to be done.
Not just the pits, but all dogs with an aggressive nature.
And please, everyone, don't jump in now saying that applies to ALL dogs.
I'll run the story about the pony attack at 11pm tonight.
I'll be watching you. I think that if you mention what happened in those other states it would catch a lot of attention. I don't think to many people know about that Pit Bull Ban. Which website might I find this info about the pony attack on?
By the way , has anyone heard about the Teamsters Union in town. The local Pactiv has been treating their emplyees like %^&$ the past couple of years and now Teamsters are trying to make them Union. From what I hear Pactiv is putting to much pressure on employees to vote NO. Election are scheduled for the end of Sept.
I HOPE THEY GO UNION!
Hey Hart..maybe you can mention that for me!
Mike Hart just told me about the Pony attack before he went on-air. Just google it, I guess. I'm sure he will be back here to answer you. He's a blog addict now that the fine folks of Bakersfield are showing their comment love...
Check out www.thenewstribune.com or any Tacoma, Washington media outlet. It's all over the place.
Anyone with pit bulls in the neighborhood on Shamrock Way. ABC23 viewer watched 2 pit bulls maul a cat to death.
There is a child day care home two doors down from where the attack took place this morning.
Some of you will love this, the witness called animal control to report the attack, and they told her it was before hours and they couldn't do anything unless the dogs were attacking a person.
If anyone reading this lives in the area and knows someone who owns pit bulls along Shamrock Way around South F and South Oleander or in the general area, would you please alert this blog.
Thank you.
What do we do in the situation when a man attacks 2 pit bulls with a knife. Why did he do it? Do you think instead of shoot first he bit first.
