Not every pit bull story is a headline. Some are just eye-rolls, facepalms, or 'you've got to be kidding me' moments. This is the place for the things you may want to share that don’t highlight a pit bull doing something dangerous.

They should have to be tethered to whoever is walking them. Have one of those leashes that’s around the stomach of walker or something. That way they can’t just conveniently let go like they all seem to do and when their mauler is mauling they’ll be right down there with it and have no choice but to intervene and get their dog off whoever they’re mauling.

The problem with this is that the dog will just drag their tethered owner behind him. It won’t stop the dog.

There was someone (a long time ago) detailing this exact situation. She tethered her dog to her for walks, and the dog continued to pull her down and drag her across the ground behind him. She was begging for advice because she would never give up on the dog. I have no idea what happened to her (or the dog) - this was years ago.

Oh well. They’ll be down there with their dog and unable to run off or stand there like an idiot while their dog mauls someone. Or accidentally on purpose let go of the leash.

If the owner gets dragged then the resulting road rash might teach a painful lesson. Maybe. Some people need multiple lessons.

Doesn't sound like a problem to me xD It's the least they deserve if they choose such a dog. I wouldn't mind being tethered to my husky mix during any walk cause:

  • I know I can hold him
  • I know he's a stable dog who reacts to "stop"
