A few years ago, my parents took their dog for a walk around a park near where they live. In the yard of one house, there were a couple of full-grown pit bulls roaming around. There were no indoor dog gates, or anything else to keep the dogs penned in. The pit bulls went crazy, lunging at my parents and their dog. My parents hurried home with their dog (which was a gentle creature and not the type to seek out a fight with those two bruisers) and when they got home the pit bulls hurried inside after them! My father finally had to get his cane and chase them out. I’ve known pit bull owners who will insist that they are good, misunderstood pets, but I have seen those dogs go crazy and become violent too many times. Raising pit bulls is a separate issue, but I implore you to get dog gates or at least never let your dogs wander around unsupervised. That incident with my parents and the pit bulls could have ended very, very badly. I’m just glad it didn’t.
Not all dogs go to heaven
