<p>So where do the doggies get the idea to bite people? o_0</p>

<p>Evolution, how does it work.</p>

<p>The majority of those come from dogs that are strays, abused, or neglected. They are generally either scared, hungry, or mis-trained. 9 out of 10 times, it is solely because of how the dog was raised and it has nothing to do with the dog itself (as in, the dog is not innately aggressive). </p>

<p>I work with rescued fighting dogs (have a rescued one myself) and I can tell you that dogs naturally have no desire to bite humans. I have gone on dog rescues before and bitten ONCE- by a poodle. Even the ones that have been severely abused and mistreated by humans, they just want to be loved. Look at Michael Vick’s dogs for a prime example of that. </p>

<p>Oh and also, there is no such thing as a “dangerous” dog breed. Just FYI. People talk about “pit bulls” like they are some kind of killer weapon on the loose. What ignorant people don’t understand is that “pit bull” isn’t even a dog. It’s a media buzz word. There is the American Pit Bull Terrier, but if I put up a line of dogs, you wouldn’t be able to tell me which one it was. Sorry, off-topic rant. I love my little “pit bull” and have NEVER, EVER met a bad one. Only bad people.</p>

<p>What? I definitely know what American Pit Bull Terriers look like, why do you think people wouldn’t be able to tell you which one was a pit bull?</p>

6

<p>^ What I’m saying is that people label about 6 different breeds “pit bulls” and there is really no such thing as a “pit bull”. That ONE breed yes, but people don’t solely classify American Pit Bull Terriers as pits. It is ANY dog with a square chest. I have seen NUMEROUS stories where a mastiff, staffie, boxer, even a rottweiler are all labeled “pit bull” because it makes a good headline.</p>

7

<p>Aha. Okay.</p>

<p>Also, I’ll give you a test. Here’s a picture of my dog. American Pit Bull Terrier or not? <a href=“http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs240.snc3/22758_1244756477491_1186762827_30594454_7927126_n.jpg[/url]”>http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs240.snc3/22758_1244756477491_1186762827_30594454_7927126_n.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>That’s not a clear picture… And why am I taking a test now?</p>

10

<p>I’m not sure how much more clear you could get.</p>

11

<p>Well you could show its body for one. Also, fat girl camera angle is hardly helping.</p>

12

<p>That does show her body… This is the only other one I have and it’s worse: <a href=“http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs602.ash2/155429_167698833263224_100000693255368_371200_1580164_n.jpg[/url]”>http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs602.ash2/155429_167698833263224_100000693255368_371200_1580164_n.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>My point was, you can’t really tell what dogs are and are not “pits”. That is more than most people see of a dog before they label it “pit bull”. </p>

<p>But it’s late and I’m done here.</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>I have no idea what that means. Sorry I can’t take a straight shot of a dog who is less than 3 feet tall. </p>

<p>Whatever.</p>

14

<p>I’d guess American Staffordshire or American Pit Bull, it’s hard to tell when, as you admitted, it’s not a straight shot. I don’t know why you have to be “whatever” about it. It’s clearly hard to discern the dog’s facial features and body from the given angle.</p>

<p>I suspect you’re trying to pull some sort of “aha!” move on me anyway.</p>

<p>And no, that’s not “more than most people see of a dog before they label it ‘pit bull’.” This is judging off a photo from a bad angle. Most people are seeing the entire dog, in multiple angles, in real life.</p>

<p>Why did you take out the Liz Lemon part! You’ll always be Liz Lemon in my eyes.<br>

<p>@wanton- no aha moment. I could careless about aha moments. Just a simple question. Nothing more, nothing less. </p>

<p>Adios again, HSL. Be back in a few months lol.</p>
