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.)

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.
