...and people need to back off drunk drivers. Yes, there are plenty of mean ones, but there are plenty of nice ones too. Unfortunately because of all the drunk driving that takes place, drunks were given a bad rep, not the sober people. There are other drunks that make me more nervous than a driver!

People need to back off Pitbulls. Yes, there are plenty of mean ones, but there are plenty of nice ones too. Unfortunately because of all the dog fighting that takes place, Pitbulls were given a bad rep, not the owners. There are other breeds that make me more nervous than a Pitbull!

It certainly wasn't the dog's fault. She probably forced it to bite her.

britnbdog, yeah, other breeds do bite people. But notice how this dog only bit her finger? It didn't bite her leg and refuse to let go. BIG difference.

You're right, TalkingMonkey. My Shih Tzu has been known to let people know when they approach her too quickly.
I don't care what kind of animal it is, they got that natural way of the wild, no matter how domesticated.

I have a feeling she tried to grab the dog. Or just moved too fast. But there was definitely a bad approach of some kind.
