GO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I took my 9 month old Doodle to the park today (Aug. 18, 2021) at 4pm. While I am not a regular, we have been here a few times without any problems. Today, there was a woman with 2 Pitt Bulls. Yes, I've heard the usual, "but they're such nice dogs at home" crap. Well, today I almost left minus my Doodle. Within about 5 seconds of entering the park the Pitts were on him like a Great White on an injured walrus... They had him on the ground with one having a full clench on his throat. And no, this was not rough play. I've seen that and am OK with it. This was 2 Pitt Bulls jointly trying to murder my dog. My poor dog was screaming like someone was chopping his limbs off. And where was the Owner, relaxing on the bench while I intervened to save my dog. I ended up having to jump in the middle of the fray (very ill advised) and pick up my Doodle (all 54 lbs) up to my shoulders to keep them from killing him. I never imagined such a thing. It was an old fashioned wild dog feeding frenzy. The more he screamed, the more they went after him. Honestly, I am quite surprised they didn't go after me when I went to his rescue, but all I could think of was saving my puppy. Needless to say, there are no rules for dog breeds, etc. at dog parks; and there should be. Also, there should be dog number limits as well. Bringing not one, but 2 Pitts, who live together and in this case, hunt together, is just a recipe for disaster.
So, it you go to this park, just know that there are SOME DOG OWNERS AND DOGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE THERE. Go at your own risk! read more
