That's rarely the case with pitbulls, animals thoroughly bred to kill bears and bulls.

2018-06-02 15:44:54 UTC  

It feels like I pulled some muscle or tendon in my left arm from the struggle

2018-06-02 15:49:42 UTC  

@ebowden if I had been walking my other dog, a Chihuahua what happened would have broke his neck

2018-06-02 15:50:25 UTC  

So, what type of dog were you walking?

2018-06-02 15:50:45 UTC  

Soft coat wheton terrier

2018-06-02 15:51:05 UTC  

What kind of Chihuahua do you have?

2018-06-02 15:51:16 UTC  

Short hair deer head

2018-06-02 15:52:56 UTC  

Oh, my mother has a little short hair deer head.

2018-06-02 15:53:30 UTC  

He's black, very old, grey in places and missing most of his teeth.

2018-06-02 15:53:42 UTC  

Sadly, he was abused by his previous owners.

2018-06-02 15:54:00 UTC  

I can't stand the deer head ones

2018-06-02 15:54:13 UTC  

Apparently, the longer haired ones are less vicious

2018-06-02 15:54:52 UTC  

We have a rather large, long haired, apple head Chihuahua named Rusty.

2018-06-02 15:55:29 UTC  

He used to be a typical Chihuahua, but now he's one of the calmest dogs I've ever seen.

2018-06-02 15:55:49 UTC  

He loves babies. He keeps trying to lick Oliver's head.

2018-06-02 15:56:07 UTC  

He's a very lovely dog.

2018-06-02 15:57:30 UTC  

@Oliver Starley, @Deleted User, the short haired deer head's name is George. It seems that his previous owners thought Chihuahuas are like cats, and they'd never given him a bone in his life.

2018-06-02 15:59:07 UTC  

The poor thing gets absolutely terrified whenever anyone touches him without approaching from the front/making themselves known first.

2018-06-02 15:59:31 UTC  

But he's very good with big dogs and large groups of people.

2018-06-02 16:00:06 UTC  

When you stroke his back, he stretches himself to provide more surface area for petting.

2018-06-02 16:00:11 UTC  

It's very cute.

2018-06-02 16:03:11 UTC  

@ebowden with Chihuahuas people forget that just because they're small they don't have to train them which is why they often act like shit heads

2018-06-02 16:03:50 UTC  

Rusty wasn't really trained, he just suddenly became placid one day.

2018-06-02 16:04:36 UTC  

Could have just stopped producing testosterone if that happens to old male dogs my Chihuahua is also about 11 but he's still fairly yappy and starts fights with other dogs on a regular basis.

2018-06-02 16:04:48 UTC  

Usually when I see big dogs I just pick him right up and carry him

2018-06-02 16:04:54 UTC  

George is very old, Rusty isn't.

2018-06-02 16:05:10 UTC  

Rusty is the placid one.

2018-06-02 16:06:43 UTC  

I got an update from my mom who took him to the vet cause I was considered too russled to handle the task after my shouting match with the other dogs owner. They still have not been seen but the triage says he will be fine, he's just at risk of infection and needs to be screened for diseases

2018-06-02 16:08:34 UTC  

@MerricBrady Oddly enough, Rusty just became extremely placid one day, without training.

2018-06-02 16:09:44 UTC  

Do you think he could have become placid because a change in diet? When we switched from dog food to making rice, hamburger and sweet potato for ours after a bout a month they started acting differently/better

2018-06-02 16:11:20 UTC  

I wonder if that has anything to do with neurologically important vitamins and oxidative stress. For example Nrf2 activators, which activate the body's natural antioxidant defence mechanisms, have been found to improve symptoms in patients with Autism.

2018-06-02 16:12:41 UTC  

I was thinking more in line with someone making them worse in the dog food than something better in the real food but that sounds interesting about the autism.

2018-06-02 16:12:49 UTC  

Something*

2018-06-02 16:13:35 UTC  

(The Drug used was sulforaphane, which is has to be stored at very low temps, so is inconvenient.)

2018-06-02 16:14:11 UTC  

Well, something in the shit dog food might have promoted oxidative stress in the CNS.

2018-06-02 16:15:21 UTC  

Anyway, for Rusty it was not a change in diet, but a tiny short haired apple head Chihuahua named Tarco harassing him all day.

2018-06-02 19:06:31 UTC  

Poor guy.

2018-06-02 19:06:45 UTC  

What does your Chihuahua look like?

2018-06-02 19:08:17 UTC  

Oh, poor baby
