First attack I posted about it here last year.
Happened at a tractor show.
Got some replies, Pit Bulls are dangerous.
Others in denial about that, dogs are so sweet.
***
Second attack is this past Saturday
My problem now is that this dog is owned by my neighbors son, recently broke up w/GirlFriend, moved back in with Mom and Dad, etc.
Was walking onto my neighbors yard holding my dog by the collar, bringing over a bag of sweet corn from the DWs garden.
Real neighborly.
Knew the son had recently moved in with a Pit butt.
Never seen the dog.
"Oh, that dog's a total Mush, wouldn't hurt a fly"
As I walked past the side of the house, didn't see the dog, hear a sound (barking growl, etc), until screaming from my dog.
The pit bull was somewhere in the corner, had jumped onto my dog, biting, locked down on my dog's hind leg.
I can't pull them apart. The son finally comes out of the house, gets his dog off.
My dog has bite marks/lacerations all over his thigh, groin. His dog was not touched, not bitten once.
****
24 hours goes by, neighbor never calls, give me any info on Rabies shots etc.
So I drive over the next day, he says "My son's dog has all his shots, but won't be any problem. Dogs will be dogs"
Now my dog will barely go outside, afraid the Pit Bull next door is loose and will attack him again.

I don't get it.
From my experience with pit bulls, they are NOT dogs, they are alligators with fur.
How come they are still legal anywhere in the U.S. (they are illegal in many countries in Europe + banned in all of Australia)

When I was at WalMart yesterday, bought an aluminum baseball bat.
If my neighbors "total mush" ever comes on my property, he's gonna get the grand slam swing on the skull
