Jogger Kills Dog with Bare Hands - Real Headline

My thoughts exactly. This man and his son could very easily have been grievously injury because of this owner's irresponsibility, and it she's shown no remorse for her recklessness.

I have a dog who I love very much who is absolutely the sweetest thing. You could put your hand inside her mouth and she wouldn't bite. She is very affectionate and loves children. That doesn't mean I don't make damn sure that I have control of her at all times in public areas. This chow was clearly NOT sweet or well tempered and needed to be restrained for this man's safety and for the safety of his son.

Despicable that that woman is pressing criminal charges. She should be paying his medical bills and other damages.

I hear you! I have a black lab that I adopted due to behavior issues. He was just in the wrong home. For us, trained, and exposed to many things, he is very good. But when I take him out, he is always leashed because it is the law. End of story.

This may not have been a bad dog just a irresponsible owner. Well that is our society right? Got to blame someone else for our own errors. If the dog had ran out in the road and been hit by a car, wonder if the owner would want to try and press charges on the car too.

It's said for everyone involved.

I know what you mean dude! The other day, I left the house and went out for my morning run. When I got back a half hour later, the neighbor’s dogs, all five of the grizzly shits, had somehow managed to come in though the back door and SET THEMSELVES UP QUITE SWEET PLAYING POKER ON MY DINNING ROOM TABLE!!!! They even got into the fridge and were chugging down my premium six-pack as they played. One of them fury bastards was doing my girl friend right there on the brown oval carpet!!!! Talk about “Doggie Style” Dude!!!!!!!!!!!.

“That’s it”, I said. “ I’m not letting you take over this frick’in house”. So I let’em have it real good see. I went into the cupboard under the stairs and got out my semi-automatic and let it rip!!!!!!!!! Took out the whole bunch of ‘em. The one that had been on top of Sheila, shot out the back door and made a break for the fence but I took him out with a bullet to the head as he was trying to crawl back under! There was a really big mess and all to clean up (lots of holes to patch) and my cards, my frick’in casino cards, Dude!!!!!!! My best cards all covered in dog drool. But hey, you just can’t be too careful these days when you step out of the house for a run, you know what I’m say’in? And Sheila, well she’s kind of OK, but let’s just say we waited a while, you know what I’m say’in?

I know thats you, Gerry.

dude...NOTHING is effective against pit bulls.

I once helped break up a fight btwn a 90 lb pit and an 80 lb rot mix, and after summarily beating the hell out of the pitbull with multiple objects, it only let go when it decided the game wasn't fun anymore. Needless to say, it almost killed the other dog and was eventually put to sleep once animal control took it away.

I know most people live by the "pitbulls are only as dangerous as their owners are negligent in training them" mantra, but I firmly believe that those damn things should wiped off the face of the earth. If you ever have one rush you, go for the eyes or grab it by the hind legs to keep its teeth away from you. Once it gets ahold of you, there is nothing on earth you can do to pry it loose.

Dog breeding is designed to breed traits (physical & mental) into dogs...or out of them.

Chows go back to Ancient China as guard dogs used by the Chinese Imperial Guard.

My step-son was attacked by a Chow THAT WAS ON A CHAIN. 2 years later that Chow attacked its owner...while he was driving.

How coincidental it was the same breed as this Florida case.

I once pulled a headline from a newspaper that said "Man beats off cougar with bare hands"

That is truly disgusting and probly illegal - if its' not is should be.

They should have eaten that dog for Thanksgiving dinner.

Am I the only one on these boards that carries dog mace on runs? I'm like the John Wayne of spraying dogs.

YEAH! KILL THAT DOG!! I think this is awesome!even though i love dogs. i think if your on public roads and a dog is chasing and trying to rip your face off, then more power to you to beat the crap of that mutt. this is a very relative story to me because living the country I run by an angry dog everyday and Im still to young to carry a hand gun and too much of a man to carry pepper spray. so I have a fence post set aside about 50m from him house so if i can see he wants to fight. Ill show him who the alpha really is!

I have it, but don't carry it routinely unless I know I will be on a potentially dangerous route (man or beast!).

Pepper spray is very effective.

I thought pepper spray was not effective against pit bulls.

What about carrying some type of net, that would close up around it's head as it charges. At the least it would not be able to see.

If I saw you put some sort of net around my dogs head, I'd beat the f*ck out of you.

I've seen a small group of ghetto pit bulls in action. Like the ones that are trained to protect a piece of property on the south side of Atlanta. Let me tell you right now, if you walked up on three pits (maybe even just two) and were armed with the weapon of your choice, I seriously doubt you would be able to get all of them before one (and it would only take one) got you.

Yeah, maybe he should have waited until the dog killed his kid to find out. I am a dog lover too, but I'm smart enough to realize that human life>dog life. How should he have known if it was "a vicious dog that was out to hurt him"? Wait until it knocked him down on his back and had the upper hand? It's not like the guy went into the dog's yard where it was chained up and beat it to death with a shovel.

Have you ever been attacked by a dog while running? I have. Fortunately I was with other people who kicked it and scared it away, but who knows what it could have done to me if I was alone? I only weighed 110lbs then and the dog was probably close to 60-70. Never having had experienced that before, I thought it was just a case of a dog coming to run along side me like usually happens. Now whenever I see a dog running at me, I can't help but remember that time. Usually a stern "Go home!" stops them in their tracks, but if it doesn't, I for sure am not going to wait to see if it's friendly or not.

If you as a freaking dog owner can't keep your POS animal under control and from charging at runners (friendly or not) then maybe you should be the one charged with animal cruelty. Dogs are wild f-ing animals. Ever single time a dog kills someone, the stupid owner says "he never acted like that before." It's an animal. It doesn't have the same rational thought process that we do.

Sorry for the last bit, I was calm until I think about the anxiety I have running around loose dogs now and am just p-ed off at your holier than thou attitude.

What would you suggest people do when your dog's attacking them dumbass.

Hey, d2 runner, stop talking. I ran D2 in college and you're making us all look bad.

Don't worry, we're not all as ridiculous as this guy is.
