| Two pit bulls attacking other dogs
I'm sorry that your insurance company is giving you a bad time, but I understand their concern.
I've seen 2 incidents up-close-and personal regarding pits. First, my red heeler was attacked by an off-leash pit last year. The pit walked straight up to us and grabbed my dog's neck, no warning, no nothing. Luckily I was able to get him off her without serious damage. The animal control officer came to get him (we'd tied him to a tree) when putting him in the truck the dog politely jumped in...the officer said, "Oh he's been here before." Nice.
This fall, our next door neigbor, a college kid, had a roommate move in with a "nice" a pit. "Oh she's nice except around other dogs." We saw the pit come charging off the porch (yes, kid had her outside w/out a leash) and the pit grabbed another neighbor's dog as he walked his dog (on leash) and 2 young daughters down the sidewalk. It took the two men to get the pit off the dog. Scared everyone, especially the little girls. We had animal control here the next day, filed complaints. Also the father of the 2 girls told the kid who owns the house "he'd own his house" if it ever happened again. We have 7 youngsters on this street, and most of us have dogs. We've all kept an eye out to be sure the dog isn't out.
After seeing these two things happen, I have to say I'm not fan of Pit Bulls.
