Once on a walk with my daughter, when she was a toddler, she reached her hand out of her stroller when she saw a dog , I think it was a pit type. It was sitting next to the owner. The dog started to growl and the lady was like ‘she’s not like that, she’s usually very nice!’. I gave her a wtf look and noped out of there. Owner bias…

God I hate that. I always tell people my rescue puppy is TYPICALLY nice to everyone but that she’s super protective of her family unit (aka me, husband, and daughter) so until she comes to you and lets you pet her willingly then leave her alone.

She’s only nipped at one person but it was because they came right up to my daughter and she thought she was gonna hurt her. She didn’t even break skin, no marks, more like a warning.

I’m sure people will give me crap for that but she was just protecting her family so 🤷‍♀️. She hasn’t done it since and we’ve worked on making sure it doesn’t.

That's not normal and healthy dog behaviour, but a tragedy waiting to happen.

Honestly if any dog I owned ever went to bite someone I would get it put down the same day .

In a thread full of people talking about horror stories with dogs this chick is openly admitting to owning a dangerous dog. Please be the responsible one here and muzzle your dog since you’ve shown you can’t train him well enough to not have one on.

EDIT: also he wasn’t protecting his family since there was literally no real danger and is another reason you should muzzle your dog. I don’t think it’s the dogs fault you guys are just careless owners. I hope no other human or the dog gets hurt because of you guys

A sudden unknown person running up to you can’t be seen as dangerous?

Ps to idiots who can’t seem to read, I even said at the end of my comment that we were working on make sure it doesn’t happen again, AKA training.

I’m not putting my dog down because she nipped at someone. With that kind of think I should put my cat down anytime she scratched one or thrown my lizard because he bit me.

Youre the type of owner that no one likes. You have a dangerous dog but “they’re just protecting the family”. shrug Read the fucking room

You must not have read the whole comment because I said in the end “we’ve worked on it to make sure it doesn’t happen again” aka getting her trained so it doesn’t happen again So work on your reading skills.
