Morning adventure
I took Ruby out for a walk at 7:30 this morning when a white pit bull without a collar came trotting towards us. It acted friendly and wagged its tail, but my dog is skittish and I didn’t want to find out the hard way that it might be aggressive. We ran into our house and slammed the door in its face. It chased us up our stairs and it stayed at my door wagging its tail. It seems silly, but I was pretty freaked out.
I would guess it was a year old — it acted like a puppy, but was large enough to be full-grown. Its ears were not clipped, so it’s not evident that this dog was being raised for mischief.
I called Animal Control. The guy said he’d already had two calls on the same dog, so he was on the case. He was aware of the problems with the corner house — he was actually the guy who took the dogs out on that awful day — but I told him I hadn’t seen any activity in there for a while.
Nevertheless, we’re going to keep a close lookout. The last time we had an incident around here came when some pits didn’t like the looks of a Jack Russell walking past their house.
