Well yesterday I had a close encounter with 2 pit bulls that was maybe dangerous. I was walking around a house I had just roofed with the owner, an older lady in her late 60's. I am doing some exterior work also on the siding and she wanted to check the back of the house for damage. The renters had two pits in the back that acted mean every time I'd been by the house. The old lady said the owners told her the dogs were nice and went in the back gate. I had to go with her, she wouldn't of had a chance if the dogs would of gotten hold of her. We walked in the yard and didn't see any dogs at first, well they were between the house and fence on the opposite side that we came in on. When they saw us they charged barking and growling and the big brown dog would try to get behind me and when I turned with him, he would lunge but did not touch me. I had my knife in my hand the whole time. As we walked out of the yard the brown dog tried to get behind me again and again I turned with him. Funny thing is the old lady didn't even look at the dogs and they ignored her. And yes Lucrum I raised my arms and it pissed the dogs off, but so did everything else. My knife had been a little dull from work and tonight I'm putting on a keen edge again.
Bigarrow, the dogs is not biting you true? They barking and growling. They do not touch you. That is what you say. Why? I think because they do not know you. The dogs are talking to you. You are stranger. They talk to you with bark and growl. I think if the dog's owners can be there, they can show the dogs you are welcome. But from your post is not saying the owners are there. So the dogs are nervous. The old lady you talk about is rent the house to people.. The dogs ignore her you say. Why? I think because they see her before, they know her from they see and smell her before. and she is not stranger. You are stranger to them. If you show the dogs you are not danger, they will not fear you.
