This is a call for no pit bull terriers on Salt Spring.
Last Friday brought horror to our relatively peaceful corner, when a female pit bull terrier broke loose from it's chain and charged at my neighbour, who, screaming and kicking, managed to get back into her house.
This dog recently had a litter of puppies that were being weaned.
I am told this dog was much loved and well cared for.
The police were notified of this attack and after a skirmish between dog, police and animal control officer, the dog was destroyed.
Be aware that there are now four or more young pit bull terriers awaiting future adoption. I do not wish to live in fear of my neighbour's dog.
