Hello

This is my fist post on this site and after much looking around the web I feel this is the place with the most educated, experienced, and loyal pit owners. Before I start I want to make clear I am not here to breed flame, instigate, or any other sort of downplay the AMPT as I'm sure most of you have plenty of that in your own town. I grew up in a small town and my next door neighbor had an amazing red nose whom I was very close to. He was huge, strong as an ox, and loyal to no ends, as long as he knew you. I feel I have a good understanding of the breed since I spent so many years living without a fence next to one.

My main reason for posting here is to question,,, if you were not a pit owner, and your dog was attacked by a pit, what would you do? The reason for this is, I have an eight month old black lab. This dog has doesn't have an aggressive gene in his body, yesterday I took him to the closest offleash park and within 45 seconds he was bit on the hind leg by a full grown unneuterd pit. I immediatly was seeing red having my dog hurt but kept my calm and spoke out to the 7 owners there saying whoever's dog this is need to control them. Not 10 seconds later after my puppy comes off of the table he jumped up on to flee the other dog, he gets attacked again, this time much more viciously. The pit had him pinned and a strong clamp on his rear leg which resulted in a four inch gash which bled profusely.

After myself and two others jumped on the attacker and pulled it off the owner finally came over and took him away. His only words were, "your dog was too excited". No kidding, have you ever experienced a dog under two years old that doesn't run and play the second it is let loose in an offleash park? After another horrified women went and talked to him he left, I was ready to throw blows with this idiot dog owner. My question to you responsible pit owners is, what would you have done if you were in my shoes in this situation, being the owner of the dog that was attacked by the pit? As of now I am in for $428 at the vet for my dogs injuries and I didn't sleep last night just replaying the incident over and over in my head.

I would really appreciate any advice from the experienced dog lovers here, obviously the owner of the attacking dog was far from that. Thanks in advance!
