yet if she did, in our bs society, she'd probably be charged and arrested........
As for hof's video: never heard of most of those dogs but there were a few that were surprising. Namely the great dane...every one I've ever met was a big baby....never known one to be agressive in any way, other than straining to get more head scratches I mean lol....

There's a young Great Dane at one of the parks I go to. Poor guy was attacked TWICE by other dogs. When I brought mine to say hello (and this poor animal is weak from being hospitalized for almost a year) the owner was very worried that my shep was going to be aggressive - and he was. Another dog approached with all the signs that he was interested in a fight (Tail down and hair up) and my dog came running over and just opened a can of whoop ass on him. Total elapsed time 8 seconds.
My dog is goofy.
Defender of the lame and injured.
And he fucking HATES Rottweilers.

it's funny, dogs do have a six sense about these things...some are protectors and some are so alpha dog they want to take on any other dog around......
I watched a TLC program on dogs and the thing is, little dogs don't know they're little, and big dogs don't know they're big. I think that's what it is with great danes: they don't know they're bigger than most others.....
(I've told this story before) I was sitting in front of the coffee shop across the street from my old place in toronto....a honda civic pulled up listing to the passenger side big time. I knew the people inside and when the wife pulled forward the passenger seat, this mountain of a Newfoundland clambered out...his head easily was level with my shoulders and thick.....I said to him "oh what a big puppy dog....." and he romped over and proceeded to knock me off the bench and try and lick me to death...I was laughing my ass off.....
After they pulled him off and I gave him a good scratching I asked the owners how much he weighed: 200 lbs.....I said "how much does he eat a day"? I seem to recall they said something like 10 lbs of kibble and meat or something like that.....
The thing is, he was huge, the biggest dog I ever saw but inside, he was just a little chihuaha and a big baby......

I love these dogs too next to Border Collies. They are very protective of their family, which I like..
My Border Collie knows I am nervous of big dogs, was attacked twice, my Border with guide them away from me.....It is funny to watch this...he is herding them like sheep....
Pyrenees are herding dogs....I have met a couple but if I was going to get another dog it would them....
Pitbulls only make up 5% of all US dogs, and yet they committed 71% of all fatal dog attacks in 2011:

Just goes to show you.
Canadians should be able to carry firearms to defend themselves from Pitbull attacks.

Pitt Bull popularity on the rise. Would you still get one?.
Pitt Bull popularity on the rise. Would you still get one?.
On a summer evening at JFK/UMass Station, police say, a Quincy man robbed a person standing on the platform. The robber's weapon? The pit bull tugging on his leash.
A few weeks later, Eric Coldwell walked onto the back porch of his Weymouth home and watched as his own 60-pound pit bull terrier, Maizy, tackled his 9-year-old son, Thomas — then slobbered kisses all over him. "If you didn't know better," Coldwell said as he watched the scene unfold, "you might have assumed the worst."
Those two incidents frame the question: Is the pit bull an animal to fear, or to love? That question, said Rob Halpin of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, "sums up the fight we've been in for years."
If pet adoption rates are any indication, pit bulls have plenty of love to give. Pit bull adoptions are climbing statewide and, in the biggest surprise, extending into the suburbs.
The number of pit bull adoptions in Massachusetts has shot up in recent years, Halpin said, with most of that increase in the past two years. In 2003, 146 pit bulls were adopted from MSPCA shelters in Massachusetts. This year, the number stands at 216.
Even the White House has weighed in with support. In late August, the Obama administration responded to an online petition with more than 30,000 signatures requesting that breed-specific dog bans, which often target pit bulls, be outlawed on the federal level. "The simple fact is that dogs of any breed can become dangerous when they're intentionally or unintentionally raised to be aggressive," the administration said.
The MSPCA acknowledges that the pit bull is still the preferred choice of many young, single men who see it as a way to boost their tough-guy image. But it doesn't stop there.
"The fact that we're seeing more Coldwell families owning pit bulls these days and fewer like this alleged robber is a sign of how times are changing," Halpin said.

I would own one in a nano second but they are to big of a dog for my present living situation.

and I would own one in a second, I just prefer larger breeds. I've never met a pit bull I haven't liked.
