Pulled the stake up...Didn't the owner know that Pit Bulls dominate canine weight pulling events?!

Didn't the owner owner know that they are 14 times more likely to break containment and attack compared to other breeds?!

Pit owners are the drunk drivers of the dog owning world.


Tired of seeing the life-shattering maulings...
