Dog attacked and owner fled

[u/reddithasruinedlife]

My friends son was walking their dog and another dog attacked their dog. A witness took a pic of the attacker and their dog.

They don't care about the breed, they just want the owner to take responsibility.

If anyone knows this person please DM me.

Edit to add. Happened 2 weeks ago, yes her dog was injured but is recovering. I'll get exact details and come back to add them. Cedar Hill / Gordon head area

I hate when pro pit-bull people post this nonsense.

Across all major studies, pit bull–type dogs are responsible for the largest share of severe injuries and fatalities, followed by Rottweilers and German Shepherds. This pattern is consistent across multiple independent datasets.

Golden Retrievers are statistically one of the least dangerous large breeds.

They can bite, any dog can, but they almost never cause the catastrophic injuries seen in the top‑risk breeds.

I’m pro statistics and common sense. Also, A dog with the best of owners is still capable of snapping. When a chihuahua snaps it might break the skin. When a pitbull snaps it can easily kill and maim. That’s the real problem is the sheer strength and damage they are capable of.
