another attack by pit bull

[Jezreel]

This is so sad, poor boy. Pit bulls scare the hell out of me, If I see one on the street I cross the road. My friends brother has been attacked twice by pit bulls, luckily neither caused too much damage and he is fine. My other half's dog was attacked by a pitbull that had escaped and gotten into their back yard also, thankfully Chico was o.k and fought pretty hard back (he is a lab/dalmatian cross and about 11 yrs old)

Here in Ontario Pit bulls are banned. The only pit bulls you see (or should see) are ones who were grandfathered in when the ban came into effect. So basically since August 2005 individuals are prohibited from owning, breeding, transferring, importing or abandoning pit bulls. Training a pit bull to fight or allowing a pit bull to stray are also prohibited. That would make any pit bulls left 7 years or older, so legally there won't be many around in a few years.

I have a lab/husky mix who was 6 mths old when my daughter was born, he is a good dog, stubborn and more husky then lab, he is about 80lbs and it is all muscle, Rupert (his name) is extremely strong, he is good with our daughter who is now 20 mths and will go lay elsewhere if he does not want to be bothered, but I have never and will never leave the two of them in a room together, as you just never know!
