Last weekend my little Yorkie was in my yard and was mauled by the neighbors pit bull. The dog was 80 pounds or so I'm guessing and charged thru an electric fence and attacked. After a $1600 vet bill and 3 days in critical condition, she's going to be ok. I'm getting pretty tired of people defending pit bulls. I'm also getting pretty tired of these adoption shelters giving out a dangerous dog (this one was a rescue) to any Tom, Dick and Harry with no clue what they are dealing with. People always say put bulls get a bad rap....to that I say, it's DNA and they are bred to be killing machines so don't give me that. This was the 3rd dog that has been attacked in my neighborhood by that same dog. I believe some, not all pit bull, Rottweiler and Doberman owners have macho issues.
