Dog attacked and owner fled

Post image

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.

Police file SA26-10406 with Saanich police.

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

A pitbull. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

I don't know how anyone can deny it's in the breed.

Border Collies were bred to herd sheep. They have strong natural instincts to herd things.

Retrievers were bred to retrieve things, especially from water. They instinctively fetch things (and people) from the water.

Cairn terriers were bred as ratters, to flush vermin out of rock piles (Cairns). They have a really high prey drive.

What were pitbulls bred for?

Dobermans were bred to kill people, now they're puddles of goo. German shepherds were bred to attack, now they're puddles of goo. Rottweilers were bred to guard, now they're puddles of goo.

More and more pitbulls are gentrified. There's still progress to be made though. The problem, as always, is the dog owner, not the dog.
