Cross Posted from Brindleweb:

there was no pitbull involved in attack / fight that happened in Vancouver. Dog in question is actually an American Bulldog (according to Animal Control),which doesn't need to be muzzled, but as with many other ignorant, uneducated "dog people" (like that woman) every time they see short haired, muscular dog they assume its pitbull.
I don't even want to start on media...you would expect them to research or confirm the story before putting it on air. We don't know anything about what really happend there, only that golden has a puncture.
But than media wouldn't be able to talk about "vicious pitbull attack". Doesn't that sound better than just a "dog fight"?

Comment:
Obviously this person is a Pit Bull advocate, but how can they call this unprovoked attack on the Golden Retriever, a fight? Doesn't it take 2 to be a fight? When one dog appears on the scene and is hell bent on attacking another dog, and witnesses verify this is what happened, that is a serious concern, not a fight. The Golden Retriever did not even try to defend itself!
And aren't Pit Bulls and American Bulldogs both from the same Bull Terrier family? And don't the Bull Terriers in general have a high prey drive and a tendency towards animal aggression? Arguing that this dog was not a Pit Bull is just arguing semantics.
This person is doing exactly what they have just accused the media of doing: twisting things to serve their own agenda.
I happen to like dogs from the Bull Terrier family, but I'm not blind to the truth about the dangers they may pose.
