Labrador Put to Sleep after Attacking Pit Bull

As a Pit Bull owner I know what it is like to walk the streets while getting the rude looks and ignorant comments, walk into the dog park and when people see us they leave. It's just a thing that we all have to deal with, but 2014 is looking like it's the year of the Pit Bull. Pit Bull owners are beginning to speak out more and work together to end breed discrimination.

The media has targeted Pit Bulls for years as owners fight for their beloved Pit Bulls. Anti Pit Bull groups form and bash Pit Bull owners and even getting Pit Bull Therapy Dogs kicked out of schools and hospitals. The media is the center of the bad rap Pit Bulls have. They put these over dramatized stories into our heads and keep us away from the ones that should be told. Pit Bulls are the easiest thing to target and make a great story. It doesn't matter to people that some stories may be twisted because it just doesn't.

A 4 year old boy wandered into a yard and took a bone from a Pit Bull and the Pit Bull bit his face pretty badly, that ends up ALL OVER the news but just a month or so after that 2 Malamutes kill a child and that does not end up on any "big news" channels, why? It's not a story that will get talked about!

Just today, I read that a Black Labrador Retriever was put to sleep after attacking a Pit Bull and multiple people. You can see the story here:

Hades, the Pit Bull/ victim suffered bite wounds to the neck and leg. Usually when dogs bite the neck they are wanting to kill. The owners mother tried to pull the Labrador off Hades but then the Labrador turned his focus on the owner's mom and proceeded to try to bite the mother, owner
and boyfriend.

The Labrador also had not had his rabies vaccine which is SO important for a dog to have whether the dog is dog aggressive, human aggressive, etc, or not! It's not only to keep your dog safe, but the people and animals around you safe.

What this story shows is that ALL dogs are individuals despite what breed they are. We, humans are all individuals despite what nationality we are, correct? With the right training any dog can be a wonderful, loyal and loving companion to you and your family.
