A couple of years ago my mum in law babysat my son's Staffy one night. Son didn't want to leave his dog under her care, but she was acting well hard with her past of handling strong dogs and insisted. Next morning when she woke up, the dog nearly toppled her over in excitement by jumping all over her and bashed her right leg (calf area under her knee) with his wagging tail. Her leg swelled up 5 times the size and she needed medical attention. She was 73 then, but she was a 73 with diabetes, history of weight issues, angina and chronic blood disorder. She told me only yesterday that her that leg still hurts like hell at the same spot sometimes where the dog smacked it merely with its tail.
From that day on, son doesn't leave her dog with her. She can't handle it. Sister in law doesn't leave her old and blind Jack Russell either with her. Sometimes nephew's Chihuahua (sp.)crossed with Yorkie turns up at hers with its owner, and drives her potty with its yap, yap yapping and by ripping her carpets off.

How about Cat kills sparrow, ingests the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, ****s in garden. Pregnant mum to be gets infected tending her flowers resulting in birth defects to her child, including mental retardation.
Were you born to a family with cats per chance Matt?
Because the sheer stupidity of your post suggests that might have been the case.

We had a dog when I was born, it gave me a scar via bite under my eye. Indoor cat only owner here now. Cats that don't rip half the face off said retarded baby.
Blame a cat for killing sparrow, blame dog owner for dog killing toddler.
It's a sick upside down world we live in.

Antagonistic maybe, certainly not stupid.

You make good points, and I wonder how many years will pass before large dogs are banned from public ownership. Over 6,000 people per year require hospital treatment following dog attacks in England alone, hardly a sustainable number.
While in the military I was exposed to what war dogs could be trained to do, and that included 'lovable' Labradors. When a big dog loses it, better watch out.

A labrador isn't a big dog. A St Bernard, Great Dane, Newfoundland etc are big dogs, or "proper dogs" as they should be known.
As for not controlling a Lab, buy them, or tell them to buy, a Dogmatic.
A trained dog, no matter what size, will do as it's owner commands them, unlike a cat which owns the person who gives it board and lodgings.

I agree with you, though, Paben. A lab can be big and strong enough to some, and is capable to 'lose' it.

A dog will be with you for 10-15 years, and nobody knows what they are going to be like in 15 years. When they got the dog, they could possibly restrain it and had every optimism of being able to do so for the life of the dog.

Your dislike of all things dog appears to have completely overshadowed what is blindingly obvious to most rational people.
