I’m sure this pitbull was one of the good ones that didn’t bite… Until he did.
Watch these owners get mad at the police and get new dogs
And it listened to the name“Buttercup”.
But in all seriousness, it’s actually really sad for those dogs, they’re often bred to be aggressive so it’s really not a choice, nature of the beast.
Another newspaper reported that the owner was probably drunk and was bullying his dog at the terrace of a pub
Pits are the SUV’S of dogs. Change my mind.
Should have shot the owner while they were at it also. /s
