There is a small corner store out by my place, and one day, I walked up to the door. Someone had tied a young pit to the post. As I walked by, He took a swipe at me. grabbed my elbow, cut me pretty good. But as soon as it happened, he backed down, Kind of like"oh shit, I fucked up now". everybody was like "typical pit". I didn't go after the pit or yell or anything. the place was very busy. the owner came out and could not believe he would do that. I believe him. as we were talking , we both were standing very close to his dog, talking about pits. Dog could have got me again, but just stayed calm. He said he would have to be more careful leaving him with his 2 year old daughter. I told him not to worry, your daughter is safe. The incident happened with a couple deep cuts on inner elbow. He gave me his number. I went home. didn't call the cops or nuthin. Wife patched me up, and im good to go. But my wife made me call the sheriff. He insisted I file a report, because if I have medical bills, my insurance wont cover negligence of another person. So I did, just in case, and I was adamant that I did NOT want the dog taken away. That was last july. I think Im good. He lives in my area. and haven't seen him since. I hope the sherriff didn't take the dog away. Im more upset the sherrif didn't come back to tell me if the dog was vaccinated or not.
I love pits. I hope to have one someday. For now, my 2 labs are enuf.
Ide rather be bitten by a dog than a person.
For the record, Angus in my dog.
