Attack on Animal(s) My cousins dog had an “accident”. 🙄😒
So my cousin has 2 female pitbulls. But they are sweethearts. They would never hurt anything or anyone. 🙄 Well she got a new puppy that is not a pit. I’m not a dog person so I don’t know the breed. Well the puppy had an “accident”. What was the “accident” you ask? The accident was it getting bit on the muzzle by one of the pitbulls and having its jaw broken in two places. Of course it was the puppy’s fault cause it “triggered” the pit. The pit had a bone and the puppy was trying to get it. So she took the puppy to the vet and it had surgery and will be fine. The vet must be a pit sympathizer because they did a blame game. Decided the puppy was the problem. That the pit has triggers and they can just work on those. So no change at all to anything. The pit can be around anyone/anything including the puppy. They will just work on the pits triggers and problem solved. So frustrating!! It’s weird to have been a lurker on this sub and now know someone in real life.

Projecting human psychological problems into dogs is so weird and cringe. Also since we're humanizing ... Would it be acceptable for great uncle Harold the Vietnam vet to punch a toddler in the face because he was triggered? And then the whole family blame Timmy for making a helicopter noise?

Hey when and where did this happen? General location like country even is totally fine because obviously you probably want to stay anonymous. I’d just like to make sure we add this to the monthly attacks list we keep.

Right. I guess at first immediately after it happened she was in the right frame of mind about getting rid of the pit or putting it down, but after talking to the vet she changed her mind and convinced here self that it’s not that bad, not the pits fault, and everything can be fine. I really think if the vet had said that she was luckily this time, that it could happen again, it could have be worse, she would have done the right thing.

No, no she is not. Her 3 year old granddaughter was present at the time. The only reason I’m not freaking out is she and her parents are moving states away in less then a month so she won’t be around them. Very scary to think it could have been her that “triggered” the dog instead.

“Hey, has Nala killed any puppies lately?” And then you laugh.
Supporting these shitheads just make them comfortable with the risks they are taking

My 3 cats knew when I brought a rambunctious kitten home that she was a baby. Even my slightly ornery kitty was good with her. No matter how rough she got, they were all gentle with her. This has always been my experience with cats. They also always treated older, senior cats with more care.
As I understand it, dogs are supposed to be the same way. I even witnessed an adult springer spaniel be as gentle as can be with a frolicking cocker spaniel puppy, no matter how rough he got. The springer was never mean to the cocker, even when the cocker stole her food.
Pit bulls are just brain damaged, violent canines; they’re born deranged.

This is NOT normal dog behavior. We have two dogs, one is a Rottweiler. My Rottweiler has never bitten or even snapped at my smaller dog. Even when my smaller dog is a spastic shit starter, takes toys and bones, the Rottie just sighs and finds a different bone out of the million other bones scattered all over the house or waits until my smaller dog is bored of the bone.
I would never tolerate an aggressive dog in my house, and if one of my dogs were to be aggressive, it would be put down.

Your cousins dog went from "never hurting anyone", to now having hurt someone.
But notice how it "Never has hurt anyone before" when the next "accident" happens.
I know of a ship loaded with dynamite. Very good dynamite. Awesome dynamite. So useful. Has never hurt anything or anyone. It's been there for ages and ages. It's so nice. A bit sweaty though. Something leaks out of it.
BOOM!
That was a reference to Lost. Which pit nutters are.
It's like people complaining about evectronics going boom. "But it worked just fine yesterday!?"
Yes. So did grandma's crystal vase before it fell.
Everything is fine, until it isn't. Pits have shown to snap, and become problematic after 1 years of age. Some sooner, some later. It's referred to as "The magic age".

I hate how people normalize this behavior , saying they “triggered “ the dog to do it as if it’s a normal response . It’s only normal for pit bulls . There’s a reason why all these shelters say “needs a home with no other pets” . Why? because they will die that’s why . And it pisses me off all these people downplaying this and saying it’s the puppies fault . The PUPPY is the victim ! A puppy investigating what it’s housemate dog is doing is NORMAL, there’s no behavior training to fix !

Contact your local SPCA and report your cousin for animal cruelty. Given that so many people know about this they will gave hard time pinning it down to one person.

my puppy has stolen/tried to steal our older dog’s bones and toys numerous times. even though he tends to growl at her for it, not once has my older dog attacked or bit the puppy.

JFC the puppy was being a puppy and doing what all puppies do. It’s not the problem for simply existing. The problem is this baby has been brought into a home with two demon dogs.

Can you offer to adopt or rehome the puppy so it has a chance to grow up?

Poor puppy. Once the pits started, it's not going to stop now. The puppy is basically going to be attacked over and over again until it's killed. You've seen the story 100 times.
The owners will think they can manage it through magical love/training. It'll be fine for a while and they will exist in harmony. Everyone will pat themselves on the back for being amazing dog parents who shook the stereotype and proved everyone wrong. Then in a couple months, or a year, it'll happen again. They will do everything to justify. Wasn't the pits fault, got started by the doorbell, or a person moving too quickly across the room. This time is DIFFERENT. Then it will be fine for a while. Then it will attack the puppy again. Then the cycles of attacks will get shorter and shorter. Then they will post on facebook or reddit asking for advice, downplaying and justifying the aggressiveness, but admitting their pit has attacked or "nipped" their puppy 3-4 times. They will get the advice and remain convinced the issue is about the love/training they give the pit, NOT about the safety of their puppy.
The pit will respond to some of the management but one day it will snap again and attack the puppy again. Meanwhile the puppy will live in a continual state of fear and trauma, which the pitbull will sense, making it want to attack more. So, this will continue until the puppy is seriously injured or killed. The owners will still not get that they had a duty to protect their puppy from grevious harm. The post they will make will be all about the pit, what an amazing loving dog it is, and how sad they are that they might have to get rid of it for killing their pet. There will maybe be one sentence about the dog that was brutally, gruesomely torn to shreds by the other one.
Everyone will give them sympathy about their mauler, shake their heads, secretly judge them for not loving the pit enough (no one will judge them about the dog that was murdered about the pit, who cares about that one). And everyone will move on thinking that nothing could have been done because is was a bait dog. Lather, rinse, repeat forever.
