Letters to the editor

When I see a lab/golden retriever walking down the street lunging at my dogs as we walk on the opposite side of the road, do you think I look at that dog directly as being an aggressive dog?

Yes.

Does it run through my mind that if that dog got loose it would attack my dogs? Yes.

Clearly I could tell the owner did not know what to do in the situation. Which made the dog more confused on how it should act.

To this day I am so glad I was able to change peoples minds about the breed based off what they have seen in my dog.

I believe people that have not meet a well trained Pitbull clearly misunderstand the breed.

I see an aggressive Lab and it does not make me hate the breed nor judge.

I am not closed minded like some people truly are. My dog is 3 years old and I have never had a single issue.

So judge yourself before you judge someone else's dog .

Anyone could come up with situations they have come across with any breed, but keeping a closed mind on a specific breed is what has has proven society to be ignorant.
