My brother had a pit that he raised from a puppy & Petey listened & was well
mannered & so I let my guard down around them. I blame their bad behavior on
the owner. A few years ago I was visiting a friend & she had a shar/pit mix & a
pit in her home. She said she fed them table food so when I finished eating I
divided my food in half & gave it to them. The pit was on the sofa beside me &
she looked up at me & bit me in the nose & I drove myself to the ER & got
stitches on both sides of my nose outside, inside & on the inner septum. The
police came & took a report. After that I would tell my boys that no matter
what pets we had that they should never put their face in harms way. Now my
next door neighbors have a fenced yard that divides my property from them &
their 2 pits & poodle & occasionally the pits escape under the fence. Yesterday
I was gardening & one of them charged at me barking ferociously & was ready to
attack me. The fence was the only thing
keeping me safe & I was on my knees pulling weeds & it scared the crap out of
me & made me mad as well!! I would never harm any animal but I'm so fearful of
these 2 pits that I am ready to contact animal control to see if any action can
be taken to protect me & my pets. A few years ago they lived in a different
home & had one pit & he killed a rott & they bragged about how they could hear
the bones crunching as their dog refused to release his grip on the other dog
which had to be put down at the vets office due to the severity of his
injuries. I am pretty passive & try to let things slide, but I'm at the point
now that I'm really, really, scared & something has to be done to protect my
neighborhood, my pets & my family. I'd probably do something awful if their
pits ever got one of my babies!!
