I would really like to know what manner of idiot ties his pit bull pup to a tree while he goes off to eat burritos at Qdoba! This poor pup was cold, frightened, and lonely. He was shaking like the proverbial leaf as I took this photo. To leave a frightened dog unattended is a recipe for disaster. Certainly pit bulls have a bad reputation that they do not deserve. They are, for the most part,gentle, loving animals, but like most animals, they may behave unpredictably when frightened. Pit bulls have very powerful jaws, certainly powerful enough to snap a muzzle as flimsy as the one this dog is wearing! If this frightened pup injured someone, whose fault would it be? Who would suffer the most? The fault would lie with the dog's owner, but that wouldn't prevent the dog from being "put down." The poor dog would pay the price for his owner's foolishness.
So, to the owner of this dog I'd like to say, You have a beautiful animal. Please, protect him from harm by leaving him home when you go out to eat.
