Cat saves boy from dog attack

[Tiler_J]

I had a female golden retriever as my first dog. We had a fenced yard and there was a certain boy who threw rocks at her every time he went by. I reported him to the cops because I knew what might happen and a few weeks later it did.

My dog jumped the fence and bit the boy right on his face. His mom called 5-0.

I pulled out my notes and said I want to see officer "Jones". Jones took my previous report.

All I had to do was threaten mom with "animal cruelty charges on her boy" and she walked.

That is totally different. Totally. Your dog was provoked, ANY animal will try and defend itself if threatened. The pit in that video came all the way from another yard after seeing the kid and attacked it. You said "there MUST have been something to happen off camera" why? What leads you to think that? How could you possibly come to this conclusion based on the evidence presented to us? The video shows nothing that would have made the pit mix there feel threatened.

It didn't defend itself. It attacked; just like it's ancestors were breed by humans to do. The aggressive genes are written into the dogs very being just like the killer instincts of a lion are written in their genes. WE built these killer dogs and now everyone is all of a sudden shocked when they do what we designed them to do.

Cool story. So the dog is innocent until guilty (unless its revenge)? Are you saying if previously provoked, a dog is allowed to bite Logan, if he "had it coming" of course?

Maybe its just me, but when I see a dog seek out and take a bite out of, what looks like a 3 y/o kid it strikes a nerve. I would without hesitation put a bullet in my own dog if he ever drew blood.

JR, what if your fenced dog had rocks thrown at it and kids trying to provoke it with sticks everyday after school for a year. One day your dog gets out the gate and bites the little fucker. What would you do to your dog then?

I'll take that one Tim. If it was my dog. First I would laugh at the kids and say they got what they deserved. Then I would shoot the dog. I ain't going to take a chance with a dog that has attacked someone.

I would have a tough time doing that but I understand your position.[/quote]
I would hate to do it too. But, I'm not sure I would ever be able to trust the dog again and I would hate to take that chance.

Its the internet and we're all just talking shit about a video we saw on the internet.

Olly's shit is younger, superior, and stronger shit so this time I'll bow and scrape...
Your opinion is what again?

Ahhhh yes the classic "I don't know what the hell I'm talking about so instead of providing a rebuttal to a valid argument presented against my opinion I'll just turn and insult so that hopefully no one will see how full of shit I am" argument.

You're WAY older than me. I thought you were supposed to be way smarter and way wiser. Can't you do better than that?

Cool story. So the dog is innocent until guilty (unless its revenge)? Are you saying if previously provoked, a dog is allowed to bite Logan, if he "had it coming" of course?

Who you talking to? Me or crazy eyes?

Touche.

That older younger thing angers you so I poked.
Hehe

Kinda like the sour biscuits thing.

Nothing personal.

[AKPirate]

My dog never bit anyone but he uncharacteristically growled at those kids until one day I was home early and saw what they were doing. if he had bit one of them, I would have trusted him to only bit those that were attacking him.

I would like to think that id notice such a thing and take it up with the little fuckers' parents long before it went on that long, but for the sake of argument IF my dog actively sought out a child and attacked - hes gone. My dogs aren't blood-thirsty, trained attack dogs, they fetch birds and seek attention, so if they ever become that way they have no place in a house full of kids. In reality, my dog would be more apt to knock a kid down and dry hump him. Its happened before, poor kid went home crying and all I could do was laugh and say "you shoulda got up faster".

** innocent until PROVEN guilty

And yes, I was talking to betty.

Dry humped into submission Sounds like junior high

[3legged_lab]

im not into breeding dogs to kill and eat babies. that being said a large portion of my mutts do kill yotes,coon and other dogs that threaten our livelihood. they are fierce and show no fear on hogs, big cats, wolves ect ect. they do not live in town most are not free to roam.
i wouldnt skip a beat putting one of my dogs down if they ever showed aggression to a child. i also wouldnt hesitate to give one of them a treat for ripping into someone doing something they shouldnt in a location they shouldnt be in.
i am now convinced the cat in this video would make some great breeding stock for my ninja cats. the owner and i are in talks over possible future breedings

[one2many]

Tripod not sure why i quoted you. sorry

[Mean Gene]

My dog does that to a kid, I kill it on the spot. Someone else's dog does that to my kid, I kill it as soon as I get back from the hospital.

[one2many]

the dog i leave home with the kid when im away is a 150 lbs Dogo cross onto my own dogs.he is one of the most game dogs i have. he has been the babys play toy since he was able to crawl. i have sen Uno kill a Rotty and German shep at the same time, and trust him totally with the baby who is now 2.

Pits have only been a popular breed since the 90s right?

When I was a toddler in the '50s, one of my favorite playmates was a pit owned by my smotheringly cautious paternal grandparents. Wasn't chosen to protect us kids but to be a playmate ala Petey, the Little Rascal's dog, and I'm sure ours wasn't the only family of the time with such a member. There's long been great variation within the pit breeds, just like all others.

Interesting I know that the classic pit or American Pit Bull Terrier has been around for a long time but I always thought they didn't become house hold pets until the mid 80's or 90's.

Naw, even Helen Keller had one.

But they told her it was a poodle.

more i look at the video, and judging from the damage inflicted in shuch a short amount of time, i would have to say there is a good chance there is pit in that dog. did not think so at first, but now i do.

Cats are way more scary than dogs when they go for the gold.

[Redbeard]

Happened in my hometown. Those cats are no pussies

[waterfowlman]

1-shoot the dog
2-give the cat a nice treat
3-shoot the cat

[Redbeard]

Ha!

So did the pitbull maul her face when she was a baby? Is that how she went blind and deaf?

aint no chow....looks more like a cur

Type in "Cat saves boy from dog attack" in google. Every other article says either "lab/chow mix" or "pit/chow mix".

Just going by the 5 minutes of reading I did on the video.

go to google and look what a chow looks like.aint no chow
i would believe lab pit cross

Had a chow growing up know what they look like. Either way I still stand by my belief that owning an animal that was breed for hunting/killing/fighting/attacking is a dumb idea because no matter how much you raise that animal or love it. Genetically it's still a hunter/killer/fighter/attacker dog.

It's no different than taking a lion cub and raising it in your home as a pet from day one. It's still a lion.

Only Olly could say he owned a chow while condemning chow ownership in the same paragraph.

My own species has a history chock-a-block with psychotic killers, but it hasn't filled me with hatred for all mankind - or self loathing.

Until worldwide eugenics occurs, that's not really a valid comparison.

And you should, most dogs are pack animals... your kid is part of the pack, the Rotty and German shep where not.

Only you would think that a child really owned a dog or had a choice in the dogs his parents had.

Hated that dog and was glad when it disappeared one day.
