Gremlin, A Pit Bull-type of a Wonder Dog

Gremlin, A Pit Bull-type of a Wonder Dog
I am often marveled at canine capacity for forgiveness….check this out. Watch Gremlin and see her story.  Gremlin is a  Pit Bull type dog. She was saved from the wrath of a dog fighting ring. Her legs were broken, and need re-breaking by veterinarians because they were never treated and grew back in a painful... Read more »

Postal Carrier Dies After Bitten by Pit Bull

Postal Carrier Dies After Bitten by Pit Bull
Here is an awful story having to do with a dog described as a Pit Bull. The dog, dangerous….clearly….The problem, owner responsibility. Had this dog been on a leash- this story couldn’t have happened. (Though the dog was on his own property). An attack by an unleashed dog called a Pit Bull on a San... Read more »

Saved By a Pit Bull Superhero

Saved By a Pit Bull Superhero
All dogs are loyal – but these sorts of stories seem to happen an awful LOT with dogs described as Pit Bulls. Angela was leaving the playground in Port Charlotte, FL with her two year old son, when something unimaginable happened. An unknown man attacked them at knife point.. It seemed no one was around...

Exterminating Pit Bulls in Memphis?

Thumbnail image for 'Exterminating Pit Bulls in Memphis? '
“Kill all Pit Bulls, or anything that looks like a Pit Bull” is that really a direct order in Memphis? And they admit not putting many individual Pit Bulls, if at all, up for adoption. What the h*** is wrong with them?

Actor Kills Himself After Euthanizing Pit Bull

Actor Kills Himself After Euthanizing Pit Bull
We often say, “My dog is my best friend. How often is that really true?” There’s a lot about this story about soap opera actor Nick Santino which is quite troubling. First, if something awful happens to your dog – it’s awful, but is that a reason to literally kill yourself? Also, Pit Bulls who... Read more »

Superstar Pitcher Is Not Allowed to Move to Miami with a 'Pit Bull'

Superstar Pitcher Is Not Allowed to Move to Miami with a 'Pit Bull'
When Mark played for the White Sox in Chicago, Mark and Jamie Buehrle were much involved with animal welfare related issues. Jamie was hands-on arguably more than most player wives. It’s clear this couple cares. As a few consider Pit Bull bans in Chicago and/or elsewhere – maybe they will take note. For all his... Read more »

Talking Breed Ban In Chicago, Again....STOP! BSL Doesn't Work

Talking Breed Ban In Chicago, Again....STOP! BSL Doesn't Work
Whenever something like this happens – some members of the public over-react, and public officials respond in kind – well meaning….but not effective. Banning a breed (Pit Bull-type dogs always among them) never solves a thing. It’s a response – but not an effective one, not hardly. The owner of the two Pit Bulls that... Read more »

Pit Bull Attack in Chicago

Pit Bull Attack in Chicago
I can hear it now – another call for Pit Bulls to be banned. Of course, the blame will be focused on all Pit Bull-type dogs – not that the owners who allowed dogs off-leash with a collar, but without tags, and well off their property. According to the Chicago Tribune, a  62-year-old man was... Read more »

Pit Bull Mix or Not, Judge Orders Service Dog Returned to Jim Sak

Pit Bull Mix or Not, Judge Orders Service Dog Returned to Jim Sak
I have no clue what the issues are in Aurelia, Iowa, a town of about 1,100 people. I am confident that the town  wasted time and money which could have been better spent, maybe on improving services for children, helping citizens in need or enhancing their new community center – instead they spent resources taking...

Service Dog Is Banished from Town; The Dog Is A Pit Bull
By Steve Dale “I didn’t know there was a Pit Bull ban,” says Jim Sak, who moved from Chicago to Aurelia, IA in November. Only days after moving to town a meter reader reported Sak and his wife Peggy Leifer to city officials because, to him, the new dog in town resembles a Pit Bull... Read more »
