Nothing normal about Normal Heights
@visduh... its not the greatest response in the world but i thought it was funny and maybe itll partially answer you pondering why all the stories on dog sttaks are about pitbulls pit bull Attack A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog. He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero," tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl." The man says: "But I am not a New Yorker!" "Oh, then it will say in newspapers in the morning: Brave American saves life of little girl" - the policeman answers. "But I am not an American!" - says the man. "Oh, what are you then?" The man says: "I am a Saudi!" Then next day the newspapers say: "Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog."— May 13, 2010 9:35 p.m.

There are only so many times you can read or hear how negatively people feel about your best friend and family member before you get frustrated to the point where you respond as such. I think that's what pitbulldad was doing. I do agree though that pit bull owners should be cautious as to how they defend their dogs with the knowledge that the breed and owners are looked down upon. You cant really honestly say he's an irresponsible owner, that comment comes from assuming how he handles his dog at home. im sure there are quite a few bad pit bull owners out there that seem to be calm and all sorts of polite. When in public with your dog be positive and not confronting. In short, be polite to rude people. If someone says, "Look at the killer dog with the idiot owner" don't strike out in anger, let it go and move on. Allowing people to get under your skin will only make you and your dog look negative to the public. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so with that said its people that shine a big spot light on the negative aspect of the dog are the ones that feed feed fuel to the fire and media hype on god awful things like bsl. right now they aren't coming for your dog, and because its not yours, most will stand by and do nothing, and when they come for your dog, your family member, your best friend and companion, you will wonder why no one is doing anything for you. mind you pit bulls are not the only dogs at risk with bsl -German shepherds -doberman pincher's -chow chows -akitas and so fourth....— May 13, 2010 9:30 p.m.
