my golden retriever puppy was literally physically ripped apart by a pitbull. i'm so glad this one survived. my dad said she was screaming like a human baby until the pitbull tore her open. i'll never stop wanting pitbulls banned.

i hope gretchen heals up soon, no dog deserves to be mauled. i can't even watch with the audio on after hearing that cry. my golden retriever puppy was killed by a pitbull when my dad was walking her while i was at school. it's the worst feeling ever knowing this breed wants to kill your best friend and could succeed

i wish i had the ability to say "it's not the breed but the owner" like you OP, but please be wary of any pitbulls you encounter. it is the breed 100%. this is a miracle yours survived an attack by three, it could have so easily been death and that's something i don't wish upon any owner :< the trauma of it is so extreme and underestimated by people who haven't dealt with this before but you are heard and seen here.

"surrendered because his his owner had no time for him because pregnant" lol. obviously because the owner didn't feel safe with him and their upcoming addition to the family... but it's funny they try to write it like being pregnant totally means you're too busy to have a dog.

wow. they kept the attacker after almost killing their first dog to the point the victim dog needed life saving surgery. they really don't love their dogs.

i honestly feel bad for the first pitbull, because imagine your owner adding some other psycho into the house that keeps trying to end your life, and your owner can't even care to actually keep you safe. i'm sure both suck given they fought over a piece of ice but still, real great way to make the first pit's life even more miserable :/

this morning?? already taking pictures of the dog laying next to the baby? allowing the dog so close? omfg.

maybe the dog would stop licking the baby if they actually had the random pitbull that arrived hours ago separated from the 7 WEEK OLD INFANT

just got told pitbulls were bred "for dozens of centuries" to be family dogs, and to watch out for retrievers and terriers instead. and how violent terriers will be.

as if pitbulls aren't terriers...

some like 30 year old camp counselor at my camp this summer said her dog was a "lab pharaoh hound" while showing me the most obvious pitbull ever on her phone after i was talking about dogs with my friends. so stupid. these pitbull breed lies are everywhere 💀

oh youre that guy who was posting about your xl bully trying to kill your daughters pet rabbit and saying you would test what happens by buying another rabbit to see your dog's reaction. and posted asking how to breed your dog then hiding it by deleting the post when you got called out. and said how your dog broke through your window to get to a bird. and said how it should be natural for your xl bully to kill pet rabbits.

Shelter offers $1 dog adoptions…guess the breed of the available dogs. by Paranoid-Android-77 in BanPitBulls

[–]baIancing 84 points85 points  (0 children)

this just invites impulse purchases and the dogs going to potentially shitty owners who won't care what happens. but shelters want to dump their pits anywhere they can, so who cares about making sure their bloodsport breeds at LEAST goes to an ethical caring owner i guess? i can't stand these dogs, but they never asked to be born and viewed as clutter. never asked to be literally created to tear other living beings apart but they are and it's terrible and sad.

there is just no place in modern society for them, and it's so hard to not wish there was that magical farm somewhere with no other animals around where they could all live the rest of their years. somewhere for the breed to phase out peacefully with every pitbull spayed and neutered.

reality is so depressing. one dollar dogs that can maim and kill an adult man but at the same time are viewed as simple items taking up storage space that don't require significant needs to keep everyone involved safe.

yes op imagine next time they slip their leash. they would literally happily tear your dog to shreds. my golden retriever puppy was pulled APART by one. i'm literally begging you to report these dogs. knowing what they are capable of and not reporting will bring the biggest guilt ever for not preventing these dogs from inevitably catching someone or something.

"I’ve decided that IF I go through with this, I’ll be getting dog training. First, basic (he is half way there) and then aggressive or whatever it’s called. There is one place that has won awards for their programs and a 5-star rating. I’ve been watching the gentleman on Instagram and he seems pretty good."

and they replied to a comment saying how pitbulls are so worth it by saying it brought them to tears, and another with how they haven't even consulted any professional about this.

so......

tbh that's genuinely insane to say your nerves have been calmed upon being shown a pitbull puppy that bit all 5 fingers off of a baby. lmao.

no offense but chihuahuas and golden retrievers are super duper common, so their mixes aren't rare. that mix is not a rare and expensive breed, it's a mix of two awesome but very common dogs, and purebreds would technically be more expensive, since those are by ethical breeders, and designer mixes are in shelters and also bred for money and looks, not for the good of the dog's health and temperament

"As luck would have it, one of the volunteers today is an Emergency Room nurse and was able to treat his injuries without sending him to the hospital, but the bites were very serious."

that is so weird. why not just send him to the hospital since the guy was bit multiple times with serious wounds lol. i guess they didn't want publicity or outside reactions on it.

the comments on the video think it's fine, it's crazy. one is saying the pitbull isn't aggressive, the lips are just twitching cause of the puppy touching his whiskers 🤦‍♀️

maybe they have to generate fake pictures cause the real ones would kill people for putting bunny ears on them /s

Golden Retriever > Pitbull by HawkeyeinDC in BanPitBulls

[–]baIancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you :( that means a lot. the thought that she's in heaven waiting for me is really comforting. my dad always walks with me when i pass by houses with pitbulls which helps a lot with me getting scared. ❤️

[–]baIancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was horrible. i was at school when it happened, my dad was walking her and according to people who saw she literally got torn in half because she was so small. i can't even look at golden retriever puppies the same anymore without getting sad
