[nagdu] close call

[Meghan Whalen]

Some pitbulls are wonderful lovely dogs, most are, in fact...including 
the sweet boy who has his head on my foot right now. Breed specific 
legislation is such a mess. Why not work on addressing the lack of 
training instead of banning a wonderful breed.

It sounds like the dogs were on leashes. If the individuals are 
homeless, at least they found a way to contain their dogs, even if they 
couldn't afford a traditional leash.

It sounds like there was a fence between you guys, regardless what happened.

I'm glad you are okay.
