Pit bull disfigures a greyhound at Sea Point Promenade

I was at the vet the other day, and when I came out of the room with Dave the damn dog, I said "Please make sure that no one is in reception without a dog on the leash". A guy put his dog on a leash and went and stood in the corner on the other side of the room...

I don't ever do this because of my dog, I do this because if someone's dog comes up to him and for some reason, he rips their face-off, he is the problem. (Not that I believe he would do this, but you just never know if he sees that dog as a threat, especially when they sick) I'm not losing him because people are the actual problem.

I do the same. My girl may be a sweet pibble to you, but she does what she was bred to do to dogs and cats. So I really cannot take any chances. Lucky my vet is understanding so they create a gap for me and pibble to enter and leave.

I own a Basset Hound. and as a responsible owner i know that the only injuries might be for my own bill when taking him out for a walk... Stepped on his own ears.... and fell down...

or something along those lines

Miss my basset hounds, amazing dogs and very loyal. But shame they winning no fights.

Had someone's jack Russell jump on my male bassets back and had his neck skin and was going ape on him, he just turned looked at him had this look of what are you doing.
