    Thats an extremely naive view. Dog bites happen every day in this country. And bs lawsuits are even more common. A bite from a dog on the aggressive breed list that was allowed in a truck owned by a guy with assets is a lawyers wet dream.

    Remember the lawyer doesnt have to prove a dog is dangerous, he only has to convince 12 random people that hate business owners and trucks that the truck owner should pay.

    Second chance dogs and cats who have been abandoned or just have nowhere to go... anyone who steps in and give them another chance is a saint in my book.

    I’d just say no dogs then and not that “aggressive breed” bs. Small dogs are for more aggressive than all the “aggressive” dogs I’ve owned. Which includes two Doberman, German Shepard, staffshire terrior and a rhodesdian ridgeback.

    Couple of my terrors

    FYI this is a pitbull, the latter is an overbred mess and not a pitbull.

    I don't have a issue with someone owning a dog however there are 2 factors to consider your trusty old pooch emitts an odour which is going to permeate through out the truck 2nd point is a large dog like yours needs lots of work and exercise keeping it cooped in a truck will make it so restless best to have an itty biddy lap dog.

    Sure you are (coming from the view of someone uniformed- you know everything, about everything. I get it. But you don’t ). You’re absolutely coming from someone uninformed. Sorry, but you are. I’ve seen plenty of “aggressive breeds” be the sweetest things ever.

    Force them to be aggressive, and they will. Same as me and you. Really, it’s the same.

    It’s all about breeding. I’m not looking to argue, so I’m happy to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

    And how you raise your dog. I think golden retrievers bite more people a year that anything. You don’t see people scared of them though.

    It’s all about image, the news has brainwashed a lot of people.

    Chihuahua’s are legendary nasty dogs too. No one feels the need to ban them
