My first bad ride at the park.

I am an angry person, and when I am angry i make bad choices.   I am angry person and when...... Wait what did you just say to me?

That in a nutshell,  is how my bad ride ended.  

Here is how it started,  6 kids are wrestling with the neighbor dog,  and a pitbull,  and also in the mix is my ill female neighbor.  shoeless in her pajamas.

Max (my neighbors dog )is very large,  but extremly friendly  , he and butters (my large beagle sized dog)  get along vey well.  Now i am not a stranger to this pit,  i have seen it before,  but i have never seen it fighting with the 6' tall max. 

The other thing i noticed right away,  is the larger kid has blood all over his shirt.  so i get dressed and i go out to help get them seperated  because the choas is out of control. 

  My wife is already out here and butters it losing his mind.  Samar  takes butters in grabs a leash and they begin dragging max away,  the pitbull gets away from them,  and now he and max are at it again.  Samar is taking max up the stairs to my trailer,  when the pit gets loose again,  and max turns to defnd himself.

Now the pitbull  grabs max and drags him down the steps.  while samar has the leash wrapped around her wrist.  Dragging her down the steps,  i cant stop her fall but sara catches her head before she hits the pavement,  they get situated samars hip is sore but she is otherwise un harmed. 

Max goes in the house,  door is closed its all over. 

They are getting the pit bull ready to go when as they try to leash him,  he breaks free,  and bolts for the door. 

The big kid tackles him,  and i try to get in front of the dog. 

The kid seems to have him,  they get to thier feet and this dog shoves me to one side.

Much to his credit this kid is struggling to control this dog the best he can.   as he leans up the dog bolt from his grip and hit the door with his head.   my door caves in at the bottom enough to release the latch,  and my door is open.

This dog is now in my house the boy stops and looks at me. "go onand get him!" i said

The dog is in my living room and i tell him get him legs from the back dont lead him out drag him out he isnt listening to you. 

The boy gets to handfuls of scruff and yanks the dog backwards.  second yank and he is out and they lock the deadbolt. 

Now i dont know this,  but the latch on my door is now completely shot. 

So i loan them a leash to noose his neck and they leave, .

One of the negbors called the sheriffs department and they send out animal control.

Now this is an hour later they show,  i still havent gotten my leash back,  and i have seen the kid multiple times since then. 

Finally a gold silverado picks him up,  and they leave.  animal control arrives,  and the neighbor talks to him,  i let her know the dog battered my door in,  and about this time the gold truck is back,  he lets the kid out,  drives down our caldisac,  and shouts,  "if you wanna talk to me ypu better come to my fu**in house!"

Never lets off the gas,  actually speeds up.  the animal control guy hops in his carand jets off after him. 

Now it is very important to know,  up to this point,  im not angry,  the dog busted my door,  was in my house,  had zero control programed into him,  and i honestly believe began playing with max till all the kids got involved,  max was still playing,  the kid was bleeding and the pitbull went into defense mode.  max like wise suddenly had this dog attacking him.  But max responded to withdrawal commands.  the pitbull couldnt seem to hearanyone.

I dont think this dog is a villain,  he is a victim,  of poor training. 

Ok so this guy shouted come to my house angrily at us all.  he still has my leash,   im going too mostly because this doesnt seem to be that big a deal and i want my leash back,  very least he needs to know the door was busted by his dog.  I am not pressing charges or anything. 

I get there i step out of my truck,  and sit against it.  ill wait,  he shouts pointing at me " he better get the fuck away from my house before i beat his ass! ! "

The animal control guy asks me to stay over by my truck.  Ok,  ill just stand here,  the people outside are shouting for him to go in.  so he does,  he comes out again and as he begin running his mouth again,  i meas in the same second 2 deputies pull up.

I tell the guy the dog buckled my door in.  animal control guy i mean.

Now the deputies ask me whats going on and my involvment.  I tell them,  and they ask me what do i wanna do here.....

These people have 6 kids i can see,  they are hard working,  and the dog i still dont feel was a villain just wrong dog wrong place wrong time. 

I dont want to press charges,  i tell him that but the least he could do is apologize i didnt cone over looking for trouble,  i just want to make sure i got my leash back,  and they were aware of the havoc the dog caused,  to ensure he was more properly handled. 

He sends his wife,  who apologizes for him,  relates a bunch of personal information,  i wont relate here,  and tells me her dog is well trained.  it only listens to her. 

Then,  i say,  mam your dog isnt well trained,  but he clearly is a good dog.  she gets ver offended,  and begins telling me how max is out of control. 

I remibd her,  her dog broke into my house to fight another dog.  and im not pointing fingers,  i offered,  once they got a solid harness for the dog i would happily help her son break the dog into simple commands so he could better control him,  im more than willing to help. 

Now these people,  were aggressive to me,  for their dog being aggressive,  and i even defended the dog.  

But this guy,  its his dog so now i know whats wrong with him. And this guy is drinking beers nonstop while all of this is going on.  i didnt press charges,  because i wanted to give them a chance.  so if the dog wanders back on its own,  or the kid brings it over,  well then they deserve my paitence i think. 

If something like this happens again,  well i have stun guns in the house,  and a trump card they have only lived there a little longer than we have,  which means they cant have anything grandfathered in under the rules. 

Our leases state,  no tenant shall own or keep an aggressive breed of dog,  such as,  pitbulls........

So if forced i can at least flag that. 

I hope i wont have to,  but i feel completly disrespected and im still very angry about it 9 hours later.
