Train kicked up a bit of dust, didn't it?

Good doggie.

That part about the pup laying between the train and owner really got to me.

Now I ask you, would a cat do this? I don't THINK so.

Dusty in here.

What is this person doing passed out unconscious on the train tracks at midnight?

Cagey B: What is this person doing passed out unconscious on the train tracks at midnight?

Classic case of pit-bull endangering owners by needing to be walked.

Wouldn't have happened if he had a labrador.

Is this one of those, "It's snowing, so there's no global warming" jokes?

Cagey B: What is this person doing passed out unconscious on the train tracks at midnight?

Well, it WAS tuseday.

Cagey B: What is this person doing passed out unconscious on the train tracks at midnight?

Too much to drink, according to a different source.

The problem isn't the breed, it's the ownership the breed attracts.

Fell asleep on train tracks? Just proves the point that it's not pit bulls who are the problem, it's their dumb ass human companions.

The last fatal pit bull attack was.. well, yesterday.

16 Month old killed by family pit

It's the dog, not the owner, a Pomeranian killed a baby 20 years ago, punish the deed, blah blah blah.

Cagey B: What is this person doing passed out unconscious on the train tracks at midnight?

The video mentions she 'suffers from alcoholism'.

Degenz: Fell asleep on train tracks?

She got the dog to help with her alcoholism. She a f*cking psychic.

I saw a picture of Nazis playing with a kitten, guess that means they weren't so bad after all. Probably just a few bad apples.

An alcoholic passes out on the tracks and a dog almost dies. Great.

Goddammit!

gilgigamesh: We need that chart posted in every 'pit bull' thread, identifying every breed as a pit.

It's all in how you raise them.

Nazi's, I mean.

It was midnight last Wednesday when his mom fell unconscious on train tracks in Shirley.

Oh yeah, that's a regular occurrence for me too. I'm always experiencing narcolepsy when crossing tracks.

/it was a suicide attempt.

Look at that! A good owner that raised a good dog.

While I believe that the owner has far, far more to do with a dog's behavior than the breed, (I'm thinking 90/10) I refuse to believe that the breed has NOTHING to do with the temperament of any canine.

To reiterate, since I know someone will holler about good/bad breeds: The owner/trainer/raiser has overwhelmingly the greatest effect on a dog's disposition- but to imply or say that the breed has NOTHING to do with it suggests that you've never owned or raised dogs.

Wise_Guy: The video mentions she 'suffers from alcoholism'.

"Alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only one you can get yelled at for having. Goddamn it Otto, you are an alcoholic. Goddamn it Otto, you have Lupis... one of those two doesn't sound right."

turtle553: An alcoholic passes out on the tracks and a dog almost dies. Great.

That's the thing about dogs.

They don't judge.

Sounds like woman went out to the tracks to kill herself and brought her dog. Selfish biatch.

Dog needs to apply for a new owner.

FTotherFA: "If it wasn't for her dog, I don't think my mom would be here today. This dog has kept her sober."

The dog kept her so sober that she blacked out in front of a train. The son should have just gotten her a Saint Bernard with a barrel of brandy around its neck and been done with it.

I just got a jack a jack russell/chihuahua mix from the shelter a few months ago to keep my havanese company.

He's a farking whack job. A loving whack job, but a whack job nonetheless.

it may be a disease, but if your gonna get a disease, it's probably the best one.

Damn onion-cutting ninjas.

I don't think she "fell unconscious"....when you're an alcoholic it's called "passed out". Or as the above poster mentioned, it was a suicide attempt.

The video mentions she 'suffers from alcoholism lack of willpower'.

How does a dog of any breed push someone off of train tracks?

Yeah, the dog either pulled or pushed it's owner off the tracks. The use of a forklift has not been ruled out. Also, a crop circle appeared in the UK on the same day, prompting the question: "Were Aliens involved?"

Pitts are known to lay their lives on the line for their owners.

Two things about them:

1) They really are one owner dogs
2) Training is everything.

Sgt Stubby approves.

And I love people who are ignorant about dog breeds and support breed bans.

My parents own English Mastiffs. Their neighboring county has banned pit bulls, staffordshires, bulldogs, and yes, mastiffs, among others. But did they ban Rhodesian Ridgebacks, or Cane Corsos, or Chow Chows? Nope.

The reason why "pit bull" bite cases are so sensationalized is because of their bite strength. They are NOT an easy to own dog. These animals are STRONG ALPHA and STUBBORN. You have to be a very, VERY good dog owner and VERY on your game to train such an animal correctly. By itself this isn't a bad thing, a lot of dogs are like this. Old English Bulldogs, for example, and dalmatians also suffer from being bullheaded. But what this means is, absolute idiots who aren't hardass enough get a dog that they can't control and then shock happens when the dog goes out of control.

Do not get a dog unless you know how to own a dog. Do not get a stubborn dog unless you are very, very good at dogs. Do your research. Any dog can be a potential hazard, any dog can carry rabies. But any dog can be a great pet to if you know how to handle them.

Know what dogs have always gone after me? Shelties, and chihuahuas.

/but seriously who in their right mind bans a mastiff?
//my parents mastiffs have all been afraid of my guinea pigs, for crying out loud

unchellmatt: Now I ask you, would a cat do this? I don't THINK so.

How the hell could a cat pull a full grown adult anywhere, unless you had a mountain lion for a pet cat. Would a hamster do this, uh, no. How about a poodle? Uh, no.

Is subby suggesting the media likes to sensationalize shiat that isn't true?

gilgigamesh: Once again, not a pit bull. Maybe a mix.

We need that chart posted in every 'pit bull' thread, identifying every breed as a pit.

THIS. Damnit, media. I hate you so much. Do your homework for once.

grinding_journalist: /all jack russell terriers are assholes

Unbelievably incorrect.

grinding_journalist: While I believe that the owner has far, far more to do with a dog's behavior than the breed, (I'm thinking 90/10) I refuse to believe that the breed has NOTHING to do with the temperament of any canine.

I'm not sure why anyone would ever argue that with a straight face. Humans have been breeding dogs for many years to select for various desired traits, a lot of which are behavioral. To think pits aren't predisposed towards violence is delusional. Kind of the same reason I won't get a german shepherd right now, as much as I'd like one -- just not a great choice with toddler age children running around. When the kids get a little older, definitely.

Most dogs are loyal, some just maul more children than others.
