After a horrific dog attack, owners of high-risk breeds such as pit bull-type dogs often come forward and spam news articles with "All dogs bite" and "Any dog can do as much damage as a pit bull," disregarding the fact that it is inappropriate for them to be raging, flaming and seeking attention on an article about a deceased child. They tell horror stories about getting a booboo on their poor little foot from a Chihuahua, knowing people who have been killed by falling coconuts, and how a burglar stole their monster truck and overalls and the pit bull didn't do anything because it was "too people-friendly." Alright, the last two were exaggerations, but not by much. The first example is strangely often used as if they're trying to prove anything other than that they are big babies. They openly threaten victims of brutal dog attacks, parading their pit bulls around the neighborhood and holding vigils for the dog that has been put to sleep for attacking somebody.
So I am coming in defense of "any dog." "Any dog" rarely does as much damage as a pit bull, and not nearly as often, but pit bull advocates shift the blame from themselves and their pit bulls to "any dog," even while saying no breed should be blamed. They say "it's the owner," but when somebody's pit bull attacks, they rush to the owner's defense and tell fairy tales about how it was the child/grandma/neighbor's Maltese that started the attack. It is blatant hypocrisy.
What is an "Anydog?"
An "Anydog" is a normal dog, i.e. not inherently dangerous or bred for fighting. On this blog, I will deal mostly with Anydogs that have been attacked by an unstable, dangerous dog.
I support the Anydogs. I support regulation and legal punishment for the people whose dogs seriously injure or kill somebody, whether it's human or animal.
