Get your life together and then you can own a dog
How awful. The city needs to enforce dog licensing laws and take away pit bulls from those incapable of owning them responsibly. You see a lot of off leash pits in soma and the tl
Too many homeless people with extremely violent dogs
I’m a proud owner of 4 big dogs and it’s my responsibility to ensure their safety which means I am also ensuring others. The human should be the responsible here. The dog only knows whatever the human has taught or trained it. If the dog was provoked in any way, they should still be trained to handle that but at the end of the day, they are animals and instinct will always win over any training.
