Perusse also told police that he left his pit bull inside where it burned in his storage room.

Not cool dude.

Minutes earlier, witnesses told police Perusse calmly walked down his steps in socks and shorts, with a soot-smeared face and third-degree burns on his lower legs.

You know...i don't really care if the guy burned himself,or even if he died in the fire he started. But to burn your pet dog alive, wow..you are one callous heartless bastard. I hope your legs get infected, and you die a horrible slow death from septicemia. Please start now, the internet is waiting.

/gives him the finger

I was going to burn down my house once, then I got an arrow to my knee

Idiot. Let them all move in, then burn the house down while they're in it. Problem over.

/Absolutely unnecessary to let your poor dog die like that

Really too bad. If he hadn't burned a dog, he'd probably be a hero.

I freaking hate dogs but I hate animal cruelty even worse..

Also, hahaha to Bucky.

Now how do I try to post the "Funniest" comment after finding out about the dog?

crazy is putting it lightly. hope those burns are keeping him warm

Its ok guys he just roasted a pitbull. Don't you know they are the most evil creatures alive?

That Skyrim meme is getting old. Fast.

Something, something, must have been a hot dog something something......

I got nothing, so here is Jesus in (on?) a dogs ass.

Animal Control/humane society will be happy to gas your pit bull, there is no need to burn down your house.

How successful will they be with the arson charge? Seems to me, the most he should be charged with is not having a permit for a fire.

Unfortunately there is still no cure for the reason people still buy (no shiat, people actually pay for them) or adopt pit bulls.

baufan2005: Its ok guys he just roasted a pitbull. Don't you know they are the most evil creatures alive?

True. This guy deserves the hero tag.

Rip Dashrock: Now how do I try to post the "Funniest" comment after finding out about the dog?

It really was a bit of a Debbie Downer moment.

Rip Dashrock: Now how do I try to post the "Funniest" comment after finding out about the dog?

I guess you could call it... A hot dog.

minoridiot: How successful will they be with the arson charge? Seems to me, the most he should be charged with is not having a permit for a fire.

There'd be a better chance with a reckless endangerment-like charge, I think. Wood burns nicely, but houses are made of lots of things in addition to wood, most of which really shouldn't be set on fire.

Know how I know you've never owned one? They're like most other big/aggressive dogs. Train them to be mean they will be, train them to be nice they will be. I'm not like a pit defender or anything, they can be dangerous, but blaming the breed lets the awful owner off the hook. I refuse to believe I owned the only three pit-bulls in existence that went their entire lives without biting let alone mauling someone. If there are no abnormalities (read genetic problems/inbreeding) they're like any other dog, more docile even. One of their their original "jobs" was as a nurse dog. Asshat owners are the real problem with the breed.

American Staffordshire Terrier is extremely loyal and protection of the human family. Strongly adheres to all its members and to defend his life if necessary. This dog is very good with children and called the nurse dog. Undesirable behavior reports have emerged in recent years, but the blame for this can be placed at the feet of irresponsible people who breed dogs regardless of his temper, which must be paramount.

In other words, know where your future pets come from.

Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years

Frank settled down in the Valley, and he hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead.

He sold used office furniture out there on San Fernando Road and assumed a $30,000 loan at 15 1/4 % and put a down payment on a little two bedroom place.

His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash; made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua named Carlos that had some kind of skin disease and was totally blind.

They had a thoroughly modern kitchen; self-cleaning oven (the whole bit).
Frank drove a little sedan.
They were so happy.

One night Frank was on his way home from work, stopped at the liquor store, picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth's. Drank 'em in the car on his way to the Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can. Drove home, doused everything in the house, torched it. Parked across the street laughing, watching it burn, all Halloween orange and chimney red.

Frank put on a top forty station, got on the Hollywood Freeway headed North.

Never could stand that dog.

baufan2005: Its ok guys he just roasted a pitbull. Don't you know they are the most evil creatures alive?

Godawful ugly to boot.

Avery614: I refuse to believe I owned the only three pit-bulls in existence that went their entire lives without biting let alone mauling someone.

Nope not the only one. I've had 2 and neither one ever even bit the local squirrels let alone attack people. A couple of real teddy bears. It really is all about the training.

Back to 9gag with you!

I refer back to a song I heard some 20 years ago that contained a nugget of wisdom it would be decades before I appreciated. If I killed her when we first met, I'd be out of jail by now.

You should be able to go to the "funniest" page from the "smartest" page and vice versa. Anyone who's interested in one is very likely to want to see both, and the way it's set up now makes everyone reload the comments page before getting to see the other one. Adding links to each is an easy fix that conveniences your audience as well as cuts back on bandwidth usage.

Avery614:


I think a lot of it is that people who want mean vicious dogs get pitbulls because of their reputations as mean vicious dogs then raise them to be mean and vicious and amazingly that's how they end up.

Self-fulfilling prophecy.

If people thought poodles were vicious killing machines we'd see a lot of inner city thugs/white trash types get them and raise them to be mean, resulting in a lot of poodle attacks.

A pit bull is just a big, muscular dog. Not inherently violent compared to any other breed. It's as you say all in what the owners do to them.

Avery614: Asshat owners are the real problem with the breed.

Exactly. It's not their breeding, but the way they are raised to be naturally violent. Unfortunately a lot of them have to be put down or locked up, at a high cost to law-abiding taxpayers.

My impression was that he's amazed people will pay for them when there are untold millions sitting in shelters waiting to die right now, most of which could be civilized with some effort. But ghetto folks pay for puppies so they can raise antisocial hellhounds.

Penman: Exactly. It's not their breeding,

Oh it's definitely in the breeding too. Asshat owners will intentionally breed the most aggressive dogs they can find. They'll breed in all the wrong traits or intentionally inbreed them to make them more aggressive. I've heard of breeding in mastiff to make them bigger too. That was what I mean when I say know where they are coming from, know the breeder, and get acquainted with the mother dog, the stud and previous litters if possible. If you are the least bit suspicious don't buy from that person. Honestly, IMHO, that should apply to all breeds.

CSB- I got two rescues now, a chihuahua and a Cav. King Charles. The King Charles had its vocal cords cut to reduce on barking in a house turned puppy mill and the chi. was in a cage stacked 5 high walking on wires. They are great dogs and despite their beginnings, very well adjusted. People, including the ones that claim to love and breed them, can be awful to all breeds. That is why the above advice on "buying a puppy", but after these two dogs, I will always suggest rescue. They are two of the smartest most appreciative dogs I've ever come across.

OK, if he was protesting a divorce ruling giving the house to his wife/ex-wife, then this story would have made me smile. He would still be a farking douchebag, but I would have smiled. But, he went and burnt a dog to death! I can only imagine the fear and pain that that animal suffered. Hades, if he wife had won custody and he really wanted to deny her the dog then why not take it to a vet and humanely put it to sleep? It would still have been wrong, but it least the dog would not have suffered. As it stands, I hope he goes to jail, gets raped, and then doused with gasoline and torched, and then raped again.

Avery614: Oh it's definitely in the breeding too.

Isn't that racist? I mean yeah violent ones tend to breed a lot, but I don't think there's any evidence to show that violent traits are passed down genetically.

Truer words were never spoken. I didn't mean to come off as snarky to thisisarepeat, but I get defensive of my childhood doggies, and if you have owned one, it's hard to make that argument because you know how they really are. Also, adopting pitbulls can be a difficult exercise, trust me on that one. My dog now was abused by kids early in life so she is a bit skittish around them, more afraid than violent. Dogs can have all kinds of triggers. If you have a "rehabilitated pit", there is a chance something may set him off when you get home. I'm not recommending against adopting them, but you really need to know what you are doing.

Not a fan of burning dogs, but if you gotta burn one, make it a pitbull.

Rubberband Girl: FTFA - He said, "I did it, " according to reports, and he allegedly did it for love - a love now over.


...and?!?!?


Was he getting a divorce? If so, explain his issue with his daughter and his mom.

Dang article brings up the guy's rationale but doesn't bother to explain it. Or at least his explanation for it.

I'd say he's a few cards short.
Burning a dog is just wrong.

Penman: Isn't that racist? I mean yeah violent ones tend to breed a lot, but I don't think there's any evidence to show that violent traits are passed down genetically.

Nah dude it's all good, it's only racist when we're talking about people. When we're talking about dogs, cats, race horses, pigs, cows, chickens etc., we can say it's all about the breeding and it's not racist. Maybe animalist?

371 bites out of 1,229,226 people over 18 months? That is only 0.000301815939%. If anything, they should ban driving. In 2004 there were nearly 22,000 traffic accidents. That extrapolates as 33,000 people over 18 months! Clearly drivers are much bigger threat than dogs.
