Three years ago my son's faithful old pitbull went to the great kennel in the sky. She died of old age. Not the brightest of dogs, but she was loyal, faithful and harmless to the family. She had a good innings at 15 years.
His mom decided to get another dog and came to the conclusion she'd get a dog that is a little calmer and more sociable than a Pit Bull terrier, so she bought a Golden Spaniel which the kids (apropriately) named Tyson.
Now that is one infuckingsane mofo animal. Darned thing is so possesive over the kids that it'll take a chunk out of anyone who comes to close to the kids when the dog is in close proximity
It's bitten me more than once for no reason other than being "too close" to the kids
I have a permanent scar on my left hand from Tyson and the dog has paid the price, he has "Nike" embossed on his ass in retaliation for his unprovoked attacks.
Now I am an animal lover but little dogs take the piss, they use the "cute factor" to offset their fiddlesticked up tempraments.
Strange how the world sees bigger dogs like Pit Bulls, Boxers, Rottweilers and Dobermans to name just a few as "risks" when every day little carpet crappers like poodles, Yorkshire terriers, spaniels and the like snap at and bite people at will.
