What did you do to provoke the dog?
If instinct overcomes socialization, which can happen when two or more dogs congregate, or can happen with a lone dog due to an unknown trigger, like lions they go for the weak. Too bad for the weak. (Children, etc.) Weak is relative. .
This is a false dichotomy. Their instinct is towards socialisation. Dogs are naturally gregarious and bond freely with humans and all other dogs.
But like humans they can also be taught to establish concepts of "otherness". If a dog was like Bob Evenson, it would bark and snap at every one because it feels threatened, like Boob feels threatened by the English, the Europeans, the Russians-- oh every one but himself - and I'm not sure about himself. Such dogs can be re-trained. For humans over 50 - it's best they are put down with a lethal injection.

How many people are mauled to death in the USA?
And how many of those were by pits that were trained for the pit.

Of course Walker is afraid of dogs, so any dog would try to dominate him, and probably do it quite well.

You don't know what you're talking about. I've never been without a faithful dog companion by my side.
Furthermore, I'll have you know I've contributed valuable information to this urgent topic that may save a life, or a face, or a finger.

What have you contributed other than ego?

No problem there Hobbes, I fetched that for you. You must be very busy.
Here’s your stats for the data bank.
The link says a thousand folks a day go the ER for dog bite treatment. Those probably aren’t nibbles.

(Probably thousands more tough it out.)
http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics.php

What's an acceptable number of daily maulings?

Could be dogs have a different view of dog-to-dog socialization than you do. Dogs eat shit you know. Wait a minute, dog-breath whisperer.

I had this Brittany Spaniel and it was amazing to watch the hunting instinct. He didn’t just run through the woods, he moved strategically to flush out and surprise. And he held a point without being taught. I remember the first time he discovered that. He was literally quivering but holding this point and probably wondering why the hell why. One day I saw that he had a taste for warm cow patties so we had a talkin. Amazing what they understand when you talk to them. It’s all about attention. They’re highly aware of you and when you are of them, they listen to word or a gesture and sometimes they read your mind.

Pit Bulls are dogs too. They do a service. When allowed to do that service, they are balanced.

What's the service for a pit bull? What have they been bred to do? Or are Pit Bulls just free spirits without purpose?

Now try to be respectful and try to not tear the place up while I’m gone.

Nanny dogs are bred to take care of children, let them do that and they are fine, train them for the fighting pit, and they go crazy. What do you expect.

It's not about blame, it's about costs versus benefits. If it becomes a fad for gangbangers and trailer trash to own pitbulls that they mistreat to make them intimidating, of course it's the owners' fault. So what? No one is advocating killing and torturing them, just keep them the hell out of my neighborhood. If they all start mistreating labs then get them out of town as well. When you have children consistently being mauled and killed it's a no brainer. If only we could ban trailer trash and gangbangers!

That’s superfluous to the one mauled other than to note, as chunks are savagely being bitten out of his hide by jaws that can pulverize bones, “Damn, poor dog. Next time I’ll know better.”

It's good to see by the mark you left that you're feeling better.

What are you saving insights for the grave?

As I had no faith or hope
For any particular response
Thoughtfulness or quality
Violence has no toehold
For any of its trinity.

Violence exists in three forms. Thought, speech, and action.

The trine is merely conceptual for communication, for all three bleed into one another.
Speech and action are less subtle variations of thought that require physical movement, even when the pen does not becomes the sword.

The mathematics of Violent Triple-Tuning Fork (VTTF) allows only a limited repertoire of responses, even when sung by the barking dog chorus. Maestro Intent knows more scores than that, and knows how they get corrupted by that, but the audience can only hear what it comes to hear when it never comes to know, don’t you know.

Seems like nanny dog is more appropriate for a shepherd breed, rather than than a breed bred for massive bite power, tenacity of bloodlust, and imperviousness to pain. All you need from a dog these days in terms of “nanny,” is an intelligent bark to alert you to change. That is, unless you’re using the beast for direct self-defense and intimidation. Calling a pit bull a nanny dog sounds like hope, as in I hope the kids remember what I told them about the beast. :shock: As in, nanny sounds like a nice assuaging.

Sorry, try again. Pit bulls act on their own, while guns need somebody else to pull the trigger.
Someone trains a pit bull just like they train a gun.

Be careful Boob, know the word's meanings before stepping in the shit you're so fond of stepping in.
