Officers warn: Be on lookout for biting dogs

[DryCreek]

It's that time of year folks. Where a dogs dreams of treats and toys turn to thoughts of getting a little loving. Be extra careful about keeping your dogs contained as the sweet smell of female wafts through the air..... ;)

I found this VERY interesting:

<<Last year, the county's animal control office recorded 425 dog bites, said Sgt. Joanie Toole, administration supervisor, which is down from 609 in 2004 and 621 in 2005. Labrador and Labrador mixes topped the list with 57 bites; German shepherds and shepherd mixes accounted for 53; pitbulls, 21; Rottweilers, 20 and huskies, 12. Michigan's Dog Act of 1919 requires that all dogs must be on a leash when they are off the owner's property. In Waterford, if a person is bitten and the skin is broken, the victim should call the police first, Hasselbach said. "We will come out and contain the dog. If it's terrorizing a neighborhood, we will neutralize the dog, and then call in the county animal control." Officers contacted about dogs on the loose will ask several questions.>>>

hmmm imagine that a little over TWICE as many bites as pit bulls

I hate some one from Waterford. Yep sure do. Cheating whore. Her name is Satan and I was married to it for 12 years. I have never ever been bit by a APBT due to HA. Never. I have been bit by several other types of dogs though. All HA dogs I just shoot. I don't give a shit what breed they are who they belong to or what. If it bites me, hits me, or violates me I shoot. And I am not calling a damn cop. What the hell do we need to call them for. They need to be out chasing crack heads, prostitutes and thieves not messing with dogs and other animals. Save tax deal with shit yourselves.
