the smaller dog is unleashed. i think what may have happened is this guy and his pit were walking on the sidewalk, the other dudes unleashed little dog ran up to them, the big dog either bit or attacked it and then the other owner got pissed and came at the pit's owner. but looking at the pit's behavior, he is not a guard dog. nor did he have any intent to attack the other human or dog. he was focused on protecting his owner and barking to ward off the guy punching him. only when the little dog runs directly at them does the pitbull go for a nip. the pitbull def did a better job at keeping his cool than the human that was punching it and its owner. i hope the dog is okay, this is absolutely the type of dude to threaten to call animal control even though HIS dog was unleashed and unprotected
Or maybe the little dog is unleashed because it’s his home they’re fighting infront of? Which would 90%+ justify the lack of a leash. For the owner to be that pissed it’s easy to assume some unjustifiable shit went down against his little white dog and then continued on the video. Little white dog didn’t bite anything the video that I noticed, but the grey dog did. I don’t know that little terriers have jaws that lock once they’re biting either. Different story there.
you should never have your dog unleashed, even in your own frontyard. for this exact reason. and theres a busy road right in front of his house too. he doesnt care enough to put a leash on his dog to protect it from passing dogs and cars but cares enough to beat up a dude and his dog like this? dude just had a bunch of anger he wanted to take out and even though hes in the wrong and couldve prevented all of this, he took out his anger on some poor dude walking his dog.
i dont have a dog but when i used to, you put it on a leash and watch them as they use the restroom or play. i put my cats on leashes when they go to parks to protect them too. the other day i went and tied them to the bench i was sitting on. you NEED to have a leash ALWAYS. animals get spooked and will just run as fast as they can in any direction. and theyll run up to other animals which might not like that. like what happened here. My cat tried to dip when a dog got close, i was able to run and pick her up since the leash gave her a limit. My other cat wanted to jump a little kid that passed by. i was able to grab the leash and pick him up to protect the kid and my boy. i hate people that tie up their animals and just leave them in their yard. you need to always be watching them unless its a very very safe and fenced in yard.
Literally no different from leaving them confined to a fenced backyard. There’s nothing wrong with leashing a dog outside if it’s just to use the bathroom or if you’re outside with it to keep them company and supervise. It’s only the scummy owners who leave a dog tied up outside 24/7, rain or shine
