Psycho Dog


Another Pit Bull attack made the news this week. This time, a Pitt (not Brad) entered a house through a doggie door and attacked a 73 year old women while she was taking a shower at a neighbors house. Marley, a brown and white pit bull was initally outside in the yard when the women asked if she could use her neighbors shower. (Very strange, none of the news reports said why she did not use her own bathroom.) Here is the kicker at the end of the story. During a six-month period, here are the most frequent animal bites treated at the local hospital: 39 cat bites; 17 Chihuahuas; 14 Pit Bulls; Labs 13; Chows 12; Pit Bull mixes 9; German Shepherds 7; Boxers and Rottweilers 6 and last but not least : 4 Maine coon cat bites. I don't know why the Maine coon cats were listed separate from the other cat bites. Notice that Chihuahuas are the winners of the most bites after the mean ole' cats. I just don't get that. I am 1/2 Chihuahua, but I would never bite a flea.
