fu--ing dog

[wicked]

I love my pitbull, shes like a child to me... and if for some reason she got out.. (i have a fenced in yard, but s*** happens, doesnt mean im irresponsible) and someone hit her, id HOPE they had the common decency to come tell me. I'd be heartbroken. Shes irreplaceable to me. I'm sorry about your car, but thats what car insurance is for. Peoples animals are like their kids. (shrug) But then again, I cry when I kill a frog...

actually that does make you irresponsible,if you know how to train your dog,it wouldn't get hit.

I have owned many dogs,and hardly ever have them on leashes,don't have a fence around the yard either,the NEVER go in the street.

my dogs(pittbull,and golden) will not go in the street,unless instructed to do so by either me,or another family member.

 

[k-lea]

wtf @ you guys bashing the dog.

 

[Rawyzf]

That's pretty impressive, I wish my dog would do that. He is really good about staying out of the road unless I am with, however he does get a wild hair up his butt every once and a while and chases a squirrel or rabbit.

you shouldn't be so irresponsible!!

 

[Rawyzf]

I know....Im a lazy irresponsible bastard.

you shouldn't be so irresponsible!!

 

[Rawyzf]

LOL...can girls pee far?

have you ever worked with a deaf pitbull?? American Stafordshire terriers (pitbulls) are very focused... She WILL NOT leave the yard, but like Rawyzf mentioned, sometimes a dogs natural instinct will take over and they will chase things.. you can have the best trained dog in the world.. hell ive seen police dogs give in to their natural instinct.. Ive had to spend more time with my dog than most people would ever think of since she is deaf. Try teaching sign language to a dog... not easy. I even take my dog to work with me. Im far from irresponsible with her. K thanks. Not trying to be an ass but even kids dont listen all the time, I also dont want to get into a pissing contest with you... (thumb)

 

[Rawyzf]

Guess he wins then

No

 

[clownphish]

To each his own I guess. IMO you can't compare life and unconditional love to an object. You may spend $100 on your pet but the love they give you is priceless. Now that damn suicidal crack rabbit that darts out in front of my car every damn morning - I'm gonna rotisserie that bastard one of these days. But seriously though, somebody's pet is somebody's family. Sometimes they may be all a person has. (shrug)

Case in point, email from a friend of mine:
dude i seriously freaked out when my cat did that. he must've been in a really deep sleep cause he did not move. it scared the crap out of me. i'd be devastated if anything happened to my cat. it's the only good thing about this house. coming home to him.

And for those who'd comment that for a person to take comfort from their pet mainly must not have much of a life - believe me, this chick has a life. But the greatest thing about pets is their love is unconditional. Something not too many people are capable of.

yeah,one of my dogs is a amstaff,she listen to everything I say,she has hearing.

but I feel you on the deaf,my last dog was a deaf austrailian healer.
it can be frustrating at times to get them to pay attention to hand signals,but eventually they get it,once they do they start picking it up rapidly.

well put...and with an example...nice

should this be thread be moved to the "dog bashing" area???

or the "how far can you pee" area???

 

[clownphish]

Thanks. I was an English major.

 

[Kagymp5]

******* s*** man! go back and put a couple bullets into the dogs skull, just to make sure the ****** is dead. goddamn miscreant piece of s*** dog...

Just wondering for all the people who are cursing the dog....

If a kid ran out into the street and you hit it, damaging the bumper, would you still have the same argument?

I mean, the kid should know better and its parents should have taught it to stay out of the street, so if you hit it, should you be concerned about the kid, or the bumper?

Personally, if I hit anybody's dog I would be more concerned that I killed someone's dog than damage to my bumper. It is the feelings of the owner that I am concerned about, more than the dog itself (though that is a concern as well). If you hit a squirrel, just the squirrel dies, no person is affected directly. Just something to think about....

It may not be you fault that you hit the dog, but a little compassion never hurts....

 

[vindication]

dog =! human

 

[k-lea]

wtf.

where did this thread go?

 

[smurfedpro5]

If it was a neighborhoold, you should be driving cautiously expecting things like this to happen. Could have been rid running after a ball or a dog chasing a squirrel.

If it's a highway, that would be a total suprise and might catch me off gaurd too...but I would still aim for a ditch.

ok the star is were my house is and the green and black spot is were i hit the dog the speed limit is 45 and i was going 40

 

[smurfedpro5]

wtf.

where did this thread go?

exactly dogs and humands it will never end but if a dog was to bite you would he feel sorry or if he wase to force you off a bridge would he care about what your family thinks

 

[Rush]

.. I'm with the people wonderin' why you're bashing on the dog. You're acting like it was the dog's fault -- as if he saw the P5 coming and said to himself, "******' right, I'm gonna run my raggedy ass out in fronta' that b**** and **** me up some bumperage while gettin' myself kilt!"

.. Uh, no.

If anyone's to blame, it's the owners. The dog should have been leashed, tied, in a fenced yard, in the house, or at LEAST under supervision. I allow my own dog outside without being on a leash, and she knows the limits -- and there's been a few times that she's been ready to bolt, and one bellow from me sends her skidding to a stop. She actually faceplanted once because my voice checked her that fast.

Still, if the dog had a collar and/or tags, I should hope that you'd do the right thing and notify the owners of what happened. They were irresponsible for letting the dog get loose like that -- but a member of the family is a member of the family, and they at least deserve to know what happened.

A dog is shaped highly -- almost entirely so -- by their environment and training when growing up. Aggressiveness, fear, bolting, all 'dog problems' are rarely, if ever, the dog's fault .. It's almost always a human's. So many people don't understand that, and the dogs get s*** on for the ignorance.

Just my two cents, kids.

dog's/owners' fault, not yours. But the attitude of people saying go back and shoot it or run it over again is just wrong IMO.

Hopefully, your damage can easily be fixed. Good luck.

 

[Cellerator]

I'm not saying go back and run it over or shoot it but rather just cook the dog since it's already dead.
