Neighbor attacked by Pit Bulls

Good job Tim, You did the right thing.

Call your attorney NOW.

Yes. Don't waste time.

According to the news charges are pending.

Do you have a link? I hope they depict you as the responsible person and crucify the dog owner.

Given the dog was in a German pinch collar, and we never allow the dogs to wear that unsupervised, where *was* the owner? Once again, we need to punish the deed, NOT the breed. I see a young, intact, male, with a pinch collar, in the pic. Owner must be less than responsible, or this could not have happened.

I am glad your neighbor is out of surgery, and hope the owner pays a hefty toll. I still will not fault the dog, though. It is the owner's responsibilty to keep the dog confined to the yard.

Good shooting Tim. Like Elvis Costello, your aim is true. Two or three years ago, my insurance agent was out walking and he got attacked by four or five dogs. He had a walking stick, but they still got him pretty good. It was his arms and legs that got the worst of it. If I knew the breeds involved, I have forgotten it.

Don't even go there. While I agree that the owner is responsible for his pet's actions; his first error was in creating a demand for the breed.

I am unfamiliar with that collar what is it used for? One dog was a year old and the other two according to the owner. I am a dog lover and have a dog, Boston Terrier, so I am not inclined to blame a breed one way or another. Still trying to sort this thing out it was over and done, as far as the shooting went, in a matter of seconds and at a distance of less than ten feet. Adrenalin is one powerful thing still feeling the aftereffects.

Thank God for neighbors like you... You saved a mans life!

Wow is all I can say. Your neighbor was lucky to have a neighbor like you. I hope the dog owners get crucified for this.

Dog owner myself... Pitbulls are involved in more than their fair share of these incidents. A breed that was bred for nothing besides fighting. Do pitbulls attract more idiot owners than other breeds? Probably. But there is an inbred trait in pits to be violent.

And it never fails that the first thing out of the pits owners mouth after one of these attacks is " my dog is great with kids... he'd never hurt a fly".. The breed should be abolished.
