Tough story. Backs up Ron's position on dogs yesterday, though.

[angrymissy]

He owns a pack of Fila Basilerios. And is an absolute idiot for keeping a pack of them. They are dogs that are bred to hate strangers and protect property at all costs. If you think pit bulls are dangerous, google this breed for some interesting reading

[JesterOfSadness]

Wikipedia has a good article about them. I never realized how loyal they are with their owners, especially being able to deal with such abuse from little children(of course..being apart of the family).

Kind of looks like the dog in The Sandlot, although it's been years since I've seen the flick..I could be wrong.

[angrymissy]

They are superloyal to their owners and thats it. They've been bred to hate strangers.

I think those dogs are so beautiful. when i got my bull mastiff, i looked into getting one of those instead. but as missy said, you have to be a fucking maniac to take that liability into your life. they are fiercely loyal, especially when you have multiple dogs together.

these dogs fight in south america, and no pitbull owners will put their dogs in a ring with these things. they fucking destroy pits, mostly due to size and massive muscle mass.

Bulldogs are from the same line as Bull Mastiffs. I can tell you from personal experience that owning one bulldog is vastly different than having 2 or more. Their personalities will completely change, they begin to play roles in the pack. In particular the males who see themselves as protectors of the pack/females and can be very territorial and distrustful of strangers.

But were really jumping to a lot of conclusions here though. We don't have any details about how or why this happened. But if they fight like Bulldogs do, its a much bigger problem since Bulldogs are 50-60 lbs and Mastiffs can run into the 150 pound range.

that sucks, but nothing makes ron right about this one. dogs rule.

The victim, who hasn't been identified, had worked at the actor's home for about two years and was responsible for caring for the dogs, said Los Angeles Police officer Sandra Gonzalez.

Must not be too loyal!

[Ritalin]

That is seriously fucked up.

I have a dog fear from when I was a kid, although owning a dog has made it a little better. When I was about 8 or so, I played wiffle ball in my friend's back yard. Awesome games, too, where we'd pull our teams from our baseball cards, and if the next batter was lefty, you'd have to bat lefty. We played in the back of the yard, towards the house, and any ball that didn't make the house on the fly could be a single if you could leg it out before the pitcher got to the ball. Automatic double if you hit the face of the house on the fly, triple if it made it to the roof, and a homer over the roof. Man, we would play all day.

There was this real crusty old bastard who lived behind my friend, and sometimes a foul pop would go over into his yard and we would take turns hopping the fence and getting it. The last time I went to get it the ball was sitting right in the middle of his yard, and as soon as I bent over to pick the ball up, I looked up to see the old guy open his door and let his German Shepard out. I grabbed the ball and ran as fast as I could towards the fence, and got my left leg up over the top of it, but the dog caught me and bit my right calf. I still have 4 little scars on my leg from that.

Ironically my dog is a 50 lb. shepard mix. I won't go anywhere near pit bulls, though.

This would not be my list of best ways to die.

I was doing door-to-door car detailing in a rich neighborhood near Standford University and this retired doctor let his german sheppard loose on me. The fucker ran up and bit me on the throat before I knew what was happening. The doctor thought the dog would just bark at me and he was more scared than me. I was more in shock. He got the dog in the garage and cleaned up the cut on my neck, saying "he was just giving you a warning. That's all. Heh. Heh." It was true, and because it was true we both sat there freaked out and staring at the table for a minute counting ourselves lucky as shit. When he started giving me shit about being on his property and saying his "Beware of Dog" signs weren't burried in his yard like a strip of Vietcong bungie sticks I told him to fuck off and left.

Anybody who says they can fight off a dog is retarded.

a friend at work had a brazilian mastiff. thing was vicious. he had to get rid of it last month after it mauled his sister-in-law.
