Hi all
I just happen to be the owner of two very well mannered Pit bulls, Zak is a
pure bred red nose and Brandy is a half boxer half pit bull.
My dogs live happily in there nice size yard never bothering anyone not dumb
enough to jump "there fence".
I would never take my dogs to a public event not because they would be
bothersome to myself and others but because why would I want to subject them
to people like Jack who sounds like a living Jerry Lewis movie with Dogs in
it.
Dogs are very smart animals they know when things are not right with a
person such as extreme fear and if you shit and piss your self frequently it
draws special attention and they will stick there nose in your ass to check
it out after all they are animals and as such this kind of activity is
interesting to them.
If you think about it humans have the same instinctive ability if someone
walks up to you staring at there shoes fidgeting and acting very nervous it
puts you on edge makes you look around and see what's got this person so
nervous and you treat them differently.
When a dog senses fear or nervousness they do one of two things its called
fight or flight most dogs will stay away from people that are acting strange
but some will want to warn that person a little first before leaving most of
the time with a bite or two and occasionally a dog will feel that his
territory or fellow pack member (owner) has been violated and will try and
remove the invader by more extreme measures.
This is exactly why I leave my dogs at home they are way to smart for me to
take a chance that some idiot will show up and piss himself and Zak will
feel the need to protect me as am part of his pack from someone obviously
acting strangely.
There are no bad dogs just bad owners and I do not put up with bad behavior
from my pets they are well mannered and behaved.
Jack get a cat and a box of depends and stay out of places were you become
part of the food chain because fear will get you dead. Also never run from
any animal they will chase you and when they catch you they won't just shake
your hand and say nice race. Also try to stay alert at most events there are
moving vehicles and you would not want to get lost in 10 tons of halftrack
it will not stop at the end of its chain.

Why should we trust the government with automatic weapons?
