Man found dead in Hamilton; attacked by dog

[Big Gunner]

Russ, love the ice fishing pic - classic.

As an aside we currently own a pit bull lab cross that was rescued by my son from a drug dealer. Fortunately she was only 3 months old when my son rescued her so I don't think she was too screwed up. Took her about 6 months to come out of her shell but she is a great dog and gentle as a butterfly where people are concerned.

Her only real remaining hang up (and this may be breed related) is she will attack any other dog or other animal she meets if the animal is smaller than an average size racoon. If the animal is larger than this she hides under the nearest deck. We just make sure that these type of interactions do not happen or if they do we make sure that my wife or I are there to supervise the first meeting. One stern word and she leaves the other animal alone but it seems the stern word is necessary for every individual animal she meets.

Perfect.

"It may be breed related" hummmmmm. Let's see.

Hmmm, so you figure it's the lab in there, eh? Labs can be aggressive with other animals and a lab is also the only breed I've ever been bitten by.

This thread is an excellent example of why I don't pay much attention to this forum anymore. Waste of time.

So, this goofy and lovable looking dog isn't dangerous? The fact he had a man by the throat and couldn't be pulled off after being pounded on with a baseball bat and now that man is dead isn't a problem because the dog looks friendly? Sorry, this dog needs an injection and hopefully the idiots who turned it into what it is don't try again.

I thought you might be interested in signing this petition:

Despite (INCORRECT) reports of this dog attacking someone to death in Hamilton Ontario, it has been proven by autopsy that the man DID NOT have any dog bites on him and passed away from a heart attack. The story was reported with obvious flaws and although more facts have been shared, including reports from the deceased family that the dog DID NOT injure the man, the dogs fate is still in question. The dog is in quarantine at HAC and may be euthanized.

So the question remains if in fact there are no bite marks or injury why is the dog in quarantine still? A lot of back pedaling from both sides me thinks. In any case dog doesn't point, doesn't retrieve I got no use for it.

I'm sticking with stolen, for the time being.

I have been looking where is the proven factual report that the dog in fact did not bite the person who died, or is this just talk
