I thought that so called dangerous dogs were almost always safe in the family, but any danger came with encounters with outsiders like your out of state aunty brings her new three year old to visit and the kid pulls its tail.
- Crosseye_Jack 7y agoWe would always brings friends home as kids and as I would walk the dog and take it to the local park I would often let the dog off the lead and allow it to run in the dog park (around the age of 11 iirc was when I would take the dog out by myself) and personally never had any issues. Though that is just one story from one person on-line. Take it as you will. Esp compared to the horror stories you see in the news. I just personally believe that Rottweilers got a bad rap because a few people abused them because they were big dogs. EDIT: What I mean is as a kid I just treated him as my dog, just like anyone would treat their Labrador or Golders retriever. I didn’t think I needed to worry about warning friends or anything when they came over unexpected. So we never worried about the “aunt from out of state with her 3 year old pulling the tail” as kids as unknown kids would be over all the time anyway.
