An open letter.

Dear owner of the snausage-with-legs that attacked Piper:

Your pug has been returned in one piece because my dog, unlike yours, responds to voice control and knows that I am allowed to take food away from her.

By "food", of course, I mean "your dog, after it bit her".

Piper now gives me this look because I took her squeaky wriggling meat toy away:



Obedience and socialisation training: Just because I *can* grab your dog and chuck it like a football does not mean I should have to.

No love,
Me.

(For the record: No harm done, to either participant. Defective fuzzy rat-creature returned to apologetic owner. Piper now distracted by The Mystery Of Is There A Squirrel and once again all is right in her mayonnaise-witted little doggy world.)

Perhaps I should be clearer: While there are several dogs with names CLOSE to "pit bull", when you hear about a "pit bull" on the news, it's almost never a Staffie. It's a "medium-sized short-haired dog", which is all it takes to get ANYTHING classified as a "pit bull"

Oh, I know. Anything with short hair and a blocky head (gosh, just like lab mixes!) is a "pit bull". I was just answering the question about what the recognized breeds were where.
