what if what if what if. well what if the sky was green and the grass was blue???
get off your high horse, i never said it was funny. both bites that CPA posted were due to somebody invading the dogs space, he saw a threat and reacted. they were not aggressive attack/prey behavior like you posted.
Bullshit......
That MIGHT be an acceptable worldview for someone who doesn't own a powerful breed but for someone who owns a breed that can kill someone in an instant, it is completely unacceptable.
I have two bulldog mixes. Most people think they are pitbulls but they have no clue. Regardless, my dogs COULD kill a child in an instant.
Dogs are domesticated animals that require two things. Socialization AND training. Ignore either with a powerful breed and you are asking for trouble.
My two dogs have been exposed to children since puppies. They have been required to go into a submissive position anytime a child comes up to them. At this point in their life (7 and 8 years old), if I see someone coming over to get near them, I tell them "Down". If the person comes over to pet them, they roll to their side.
My dogs are required to be submissive around humans. No ifs, ands, or buts. It is responsibility of people who own these types of dogs to make sure they follow through with socialization with people outside your family and spend the time to train them.
I can instantly tell the quality of a pet owner by how they walk their dog. If the dog is pulling on the leash, the owner hasn't trained their dog. Simple as that. It doesn't matter for most dogs but for certain dogs, you are doing every owner a disservice by not training your dog.
EDIT:
CPA sorry for your loss and I hope you are able to move forward and get another dog that works out for you.
