looks more like insurance fraud than the work of that dog

 

giving roid's to dogs is completely wrong. poor dog stands no chance of people around people (which is what they were bred originally to be - domestic animals that could help humans in various ways).

oh- and right idea JDM and Lazyprof

 

That's so sad. Did you sue the neighbors for their incompetence in keeping their dogs?

 

Didn't know Michael Vick owned an S2000.

 

 

i dont think that dog pic is real and second some dogs are far more dangerous than others regaurdless of how they were treated. One that looks like that is too much potential for someone to get seriously hurt or killed.

 

what would you expect from these irresponsible owners?

A few months ago I was in court and one of the cases before the bench involved a Pit Bull. In this case, the Pit had jumped the fence, gotten into the neighbors yard, chased their Fox Terrirer into what they called their "carporch" (which I think means "carport"), then dragged it onto their front pourch, and into their living room (by tearing the screen out of their front door) and was proceeding to tear the little terrier into bite size pieces. The entire family, except the head of the household, locked themselves into a bedroom to protect themselves from the dog, while the father tried to stop the attack. He tried yelling at the dog to no avail. Then he tried kicking the dog, to no afail. Then he tried hitting the dog in several places, including his head, with a baseball bat. The Pit never even seemed to notice, and his owner stood in the doorway watching, and doing nothing. Finally, the father ran into the kitchen, got a butcher knife, went back into the livingroom and started stabbing the Pit until he was laying lifeless in a pool of blood on his living room floor. Again, the pit bull owner simply stood in the doorway and watched it all, without lifting a finger to stop any of it. Both dogs died.

I found the courts decision so insane that I still can't get over it. The Pit had no history (other than three "rumors" of his killing other dogs) so was protected under what is known as a first bite law. The guy who's home was invaded was forced to pay the Pit owner for stabbing his dog to death, and was found guilty of cruelty to animals. To me, that makes Pit Bulls safer than our fubar court system and laws.

That said, some of the sweetest and most affectionate dogs I've ever encountered have been Staffordshire Terrier's (AKA, Pit Bulls). Any dog can be bread and or traind to be mean as hell, but never make the mistake of thinking that a dog's breed is the sole determinant of his personality and nature.

 

two words, road kill

chances are the owner (if this is real) hit a small animal at some point

you can wash the car, but that scent stays in there for a long time

couple that with a dog who is animal aggressive and not properly exercised (in spite of the dog's "build" it is probably not exercised enough to be docile when contained) and you have a problem

if this is real.....

my dog (a hunter) will go out of her way to smell wheel-wells and will spot on any one that she can smell a critter
