Dog groomer

Dog groomer says vicious reputation of pit bulls is true — and deserved

Name: J.M. Pringle
Victim: Pet
Location: Grooming salon, Ontario
Year of attack: 2019

Tell us about the attack

I worked at a dog grooming salon, and I was grooming a small female Aussie Shepherd. The salon owner (who was a pit lover) demanded I put that dog on the floor and instead groom the pit (illegal here in Ontario) that she was holding. I wanted to finish the Aussie Shepherd, but she (the owner) refused my request. So I picked up the Aussie Shepherd off the grooming table and put her on the floor. Without a second’s hesitation or warning, the pit bull (which the owners had identified as an “American Bully”) attacked the Aussie, grabbing her by the neck and shaking her. The salon owner attempted to pull the pit off, but the harness broke. I grabbed a broom and started hitting the pit on the head and body with all my might. Thank god, the pit let the Aussie loose, and I scooped her up and into a crate.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?

The above attack, and numerous other close calls in my work with dogs, has left me fully aware that all the stories about the nature of attacks by pit type dogs are 100% true.

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?

Call them what you may — American Bully, “Lab Cross”, “Boxer Cross”, Staffy — these pit type dogs are immediately recognizable by breed safety law advocates such as myself. The argument that they are not “true pits” is a ridiculous story convincing no one, because if it looks like a pit, walks like a pit, and bites like a pit, IT IS A PIT TYPE DOG, and is genetically programmed to attack, maul and murder without provocation.

These types of dogs are dangerous. They kill people and pets, and no matter what lies the pit lovers tell people and themselves, pit bull type dogs are always a real and present threat. Every single day, world-wide, pit-type dogs murder pets, livestock, seniors, young persons and babies.

Mini Golden

My mini-golden was killed at a doggie day care that accepts pit bulls

I left my mini-golden dog, Barry, at the doggie day care he had been going to for a few months. I got a call as I was driving back home from the owner. She was hysterically crying and told me that Barry was dead! I couldn’t believe it. He was put out unattended with a pit bull and the pit bull snapped and bit Barry’s lungs until he died. My 78-year-old mom went down to the day care to see what happened and they called the police. I thought it was to investigate the dangerous dog. It turns out that the police officer only did a report about my aged mom going down there, and never even bothered to look into the dangerous pit bull.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?
I lost my best friend. When I came home that day, I had no one. This was probably the saddest day of my life.

Legal Consequences
I received monetary compensation from the day care owner. She later sold the business. The police officer never investigated the pit bull under our ordinance. The pit bull was then immediately taken in by a dog day care in Park Rapids, Minnesota. I was told smugly by the owner of that day care that she knew how to handle killer pit bulls, and patronizingly, that my asking her to remove the pit bull was just part of my “grieving process”.

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?
That pit bulls should be removed from the planet forever. There is no such thing as a safe pit bull. People who defend pit bulls, own them, sell, breed or buy them are fools.

Puppy killed by pit bull

Puppy killed by pit bull mix at doggie day care

Name: Lb
Victim: Pet
Location: Doggie daycare, Arizona
Year of attack: 2022

Tell us about the attack

My six-month-old puppy, Triton, was attacked and killed by a pit bull mix while at a doggie daycare. Its spine was crushed, and there were four puncture wounds, two into the chest cavity and two into the abdomen. The injuries were too severe to save baby Triton’s life.

How has your life changed as a result of the attack?
I will never again bring a dog to a doggie daycare. When I am out with my dogs, to protect them from pit bulls I now carry pepper spray at all times and a baton that carries 9 million volts.

Legal Consequences
There were no repercussions. Neither the doggie day care nor the pit mix owner were fined. The Yavapai sheriff department did absolutely nothing. The pit mix was not even labeled a dangerous animal.

What would you like people to know as a result of your attack?
A lot of people with pits and pit mixes don’t understand dog genetics or behavior very well so you need to make sure you keep your pets protected to the full extent you can.
