The dog's owner told my father that it was vaccinated, so that was the end of that. I WAS bothering the dog. Today the dog would be euthanized and the owner sued."<br /><br />When I was 4, a puppy of a large breed was bothering me, so i decided to run away from him. We were spending the summer out in the countryside, so he was probably a shepherd, which would explain why he bit me on the legs over and over again as he joyfully chased me. The puppy's owner apologized, asked if we needed anything and scolded the puppy. My mother, disinfected and bandaged the bites on my legs, apologized to the neighbors for my screams bringing the village to a halt for a few minutes and explained to me that if you run from a dog, it will chase you. In that time and place, people understood that these things happen and didn't blow it out of proportion.<br /><br />Five summers later, in some rural resort village, I went to visit a friend at her cousin's house. I got near the door without noticing a big German Shepherd chained to a nearby stoop because he was resting in the bushes. He tackled me, and I still have one bite mark on my side and one as a sort of a tramp stamp. My friend's aunt cleaned and bandaged me, served me some tea and ice cream and took me home. She and her husband apologized to my parents, showed the dog's shots record and begged to not report it. It was obvious that the dog was merely protecting his home, and that they shouldn't leave him alone outside anymore. I went to the hospital for some just in case shots, and that was the end of it. <br /><br />Heck, even 8 years ago in suburban Chicago, my Chocolate Lab bit the neighbor boy because he was being too loud and active in her back yard, and she was too old and grumpy to deal with it. But since we were all immigrants on my street, the dog was allowed the few years she had left. I don't remember if the boy was from the Argentinian or from the Persian Jewish side of our fence, but his parents accepted mother's apology and the check to cover the kid's stitches at the ER. The neighbor didn't stop coming over, and my brother was still welcome in their house. <br /><br />I'm surprised that people who freak out over common childhood dog related incidents allow their kids to ride bikes, skate, ski or play sports.

Obviously, a larger, more muscular dog like, say, labrador retriever can do a lot more damage than a pekingese. All being equal, bigger things are more dangerous, in general. For example, if something was flying towards me at 100m/s, I'd much rather it be a bullet than a refrigerator. But since all things aren't equal, I feel absolutely no anxiety about having that rather large unit in my kitchen, just as I feel no anxiety around any of my foster pit bulls, past or present.Mayanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-51228894996065997382012-04-27T13:48:50.049-07:002012-04-27T13:48:50.049-07:00>poodles, indeed, can be very aggressive, speci...<b>>poodles, indeed, can be very aggressive, specifically, the toy breads.<</b><br /><br />Ha, another Orson Welles anecdote here!

You sound like a typi..."No, Maya, still wrong. You sound like a typical unreformed liberal. Here is another hint for you: Toy poodles never (as in NEVER EVER, EVER) attack people."<br /><br />Darling, "liberal" only works as an insult if you have something to back it up and can support your position. For example, when Lily Allen started her concert by yelling, "George W. Bush is a cunt", it came out rather pathetically because she couldn't recall anything Bush had actually done, or any of his political views. She just knew that he was bad, and that cool people weren't supposed to like him.<br /><br /> By repeatedly calling me a liberal as some kind of a shaming technique, you betray yourself as someone who uses political affiliation as a sort of a clique where you could gain a sense of belonging and self-importance that comes with it. Perhaps you could be better fulfilled by supporting a sports team or obsessing over a band. <br /><br />Your position on dogs is similar to your political stance. You repeat it over and over again without attempting to back it up or respond to direct points, and you defend it mindlessly, simply because it's yours. <br /><br />As someone who has worked the reception desk at a vet's office, volunteered countless hours at an animal rescue and fostered many dogs, I can assure you that poodles, indeed, can be very aggressive, specifically, the toy breads. Pit bulls are in the category of dogs who are least likely to attack their own families. Again, some pits aren't 'right" after being rescued from dog fighting rings, and since they are often used as guard/protection dogs, pit bulls are also known to attack intruders and people violent towards a family member who is in obvious distress. Otherwise, these dogs are notoriously docile when dealing with humans. This isn't top secret information. Why don't you read up on it?Mayanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-29731846382234934782012-04-27T10:39:33.164-07:002012-04-27T10:39:33.164-07:00No, Maya, still wrong.

Your log..."Maya, please, don't be a moron. Your logic is the same as the one liberals use when arguing that blacks are not at all violent. Hint: compare number of people that were mauled by poodles and pit bulls."<br /><br />I'm not arguing that some pit bulls are very nice dogs. I'm stating that, as a breed, they are known (to those who actually work with dogs) for eagerness to please, first and foremost, intelligence and sensitivity. <br /><br />The reason they attack and bite more often than other breeds in the United States is that they are used in dog fights and as guard dogs by the lowest rank of people, by far, more often than any other breed. Dogs who are treated horrifically and trained to be violent do so more often than other dogs. big surprise. Before dog fighting became popular, pit bulls were known as nanny dogs and employed to watch small children. After vast experience with this breed, I'd say that babysitting does sound like a great fit for it. Of course, the pits who come into the shelter after being rescued from abusive situations and forced to hunt their own food are a scary bunch. That's understandable. Also, like people, dogs can get brain cancer and go nuts. And, sure, being attacked by a mentally deranged pit bull who is all muscle is a lot more dangerous than being attacked by a toy poodle. However, just as with people, psychotic episodes are very, very rare. And, statistically, psychosis is most common among spaniels and toy breeds (thank God). <br /><br />You should really try doing your own research instead of relying on the mainstream media and popular culture to inform you ;)Mayanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-48095504507029868482012-04-26T20:33:41.389-07:002012-04-26T20:33:41.389-07:00The prosecution not only apparently overcharged bu...<i>The prosecution not only apparently overcharged but also keeps making breathtaking pre-trial concessions.
