So the dog was with its handler and still turned on him? That's terrifying. What hope do the rest of us have?
get stuffed mate. Pitbulls kill people every year. Facts don't care about your feelings.
ffs they tased the dog while it was attacking its own handler. Should've shot it. Those dogs are dangerous, don't care who owns them.
yeah I dunno, every dog is different. But when they snap it's bad news.
pitbulls man... they're just wired different. Sad but true.
yeah nah the handler probably knew what he was doing. These dogs can turn, it's the breed. Shouldn't be allowed in cities.

Cops had to taser a dog attacking its own handler. Hard to blame the dog tbh. Poor thing was probably stressed out.
lol cope. The breed is the issue, not the training.
my neighbour has one of those staffies, lovely dog normally but I still keep my distance. Hope the handler's okay.
Ban pitbulls already. How many more attacks do we need to see?
we had one snap in our neighbourhood, killed a cat. Owners were devastated but the dog had to go. It's the breed.
bet you never owned a dog in your life. They're all individuals.
Tasers on a dog seems excessive but if it was that bad then what else could they do. Glad it's under control.
same. Been saying this for years. Council needs to step up.
Not roaming and still attacked? So it's not about neglect, it's about the breed. Simple as that.
ppl saying 'it's the owner not the breed' but the owner was literally restraining it and it still went wild. Wake up.
poor handler having to live through that. Hope they get compensation.
