A special story for those who have recently sent in comments questioning the accuracy and truthfulness of our supposed “scare-mongering” tactics about what life is like for many dog owners in Ontario.

This is a true, verifiable story (as have been all of my accounts) that was related to me by a first-hand directly-involved party.<\/p>\n

The owner of a pit bull type dog, well known in a local Toronto park, was visiting the park. A buzz was going around the park that day because of a serious dog-on-dog attack that had occurred the day before.<\/p>\n

The pit bull owner visited the park a couple of times that day and had at least a dozen people come up and say, “Did you hear about the pit bull attack? Did you hear?”.<\/p>\n

The pit bull owner happened to know the attacking dog which was (and is) an American Bulldog.<\/p>\n

So, to each person who came running up saying “did you hear?”, this owner repeated to them, “it was not a pit bull, it was an American Bulldog”.<\/p>\n

Finally, the owner of a Golden Retriever \/ Poodle mix turned to the owner and said, “For Ch…t’s sake, would you stop defending your breed and admit that it will attack and injure other dogs!”.<\/p>\n

At which point, the GoldenDoodle owner was confronted by another dog owner who said, “I know which dog you’re talking about and it was an American Bulldog”.<\/p>\n

The GoldenDoodle owner turned, looked at the pit bull owner, spat at that person’s feet, and walked away.<\/p>\n

This GoldenDoodle owner spewed hatred and venom at this dog owner for an incident that didn’t involve that person, didn’t involve their dogs, and didn’t even involve their breed.<\/p>\n

Lovely.
