And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Seems that the dogs were really not to blame but the owners, actually the previous owners, for tying them on short chains in a remote part of a farm. No social interaction, no time to become "civilized".....and being territorial, she wandered into the right place at the wrong time.
I am in firm belief that there is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners.
If y'all will read just that Wikipedia piece (there's a lot more info available,) you'll see that the dogs were raised by a "high-ranking Aryan Brotherhood member" currently serving multiple life terms for murders. His lawyers took in the dogs and kept them in a San Francisco apartment building.
Pretty obvious to me that the dogs were doing what they'd been taught to do. Keeping a trained attack dog in a city apartment building is and should be considered a criminal act.
I don't have a clue what breed it is, but that is one seriously tough looking customer!

Cuts down on the recidivism problem of the local burglars. Saves on dog food too!
Deletehound of the Baskerville... from my nightmares.
ReplyDeleteWasn't he in the movie "Omen"?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is either a Dogo Argentino or a Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff)
ReplyDeleteI told ya not to feed them steroids to the chihuahua :-(
ReplyDeleteI'm still amazed that this dog and other large breeds share a common wolf ancestor with Chihuahuas, Pekineses, Yorkies, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd this was the runt of the litter....
ReplyDelete"Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!" ..
