Please, get serious. You know what the problem is and you don't care. The dog is volatile. It may go the rest of it's life without hurting anyone, that would be nice and lucky for you. You know why? Because, before he could actually hurt someone, you were ordered to take more responsibility. You didn't do this on your own, you didn't get the insurance until you were ordered to. You didn't do anything, until it was ordered.

The original story stated this was a animal, rescued from a previous owner that couldn't care for him. Other people have commented about witnessing his aggressiveness and other's have commented about his passiveness. Of course a dog is going to be more friendly towards those, it's owner shows friendship to. Those it's owner ignores or doesn't know, are a different story.

Just FYI. I had an experience about 10 yrs ago. I was walking towards the backyard of a friend's house after being invited over for an outside party. This was right up the street from you. As I walked into the driveway a small dog came out of nowhere, on a long leash, it proceeded to bite the insides of my thigh starting just above the knees, 4 bites, two on each side, climbing up my thighs. It happened so fast, I wasn't able to swat it away, till it was just about to hit my most important parts.

I gave it a good backhand whack and it went flying back about 10 ft. By then the owner, the person I was there to visit ran over and gained control. I had 4 clear bite marks, dripping blood down my legs, I was wearing shorts. This dog couldn't have been more than 30 lbs. One more bite and I probably would have killed it instantly. This dog had already been reported twice and been labeled a vicious dog twice, a mongrel mutt. If I had called it in, they would have taken it away and killed it. I didn't, because the people were friends and they begged me not to. If that dog didn't scare me, I doubt any of your lame words would have any effect.

You vitriolic responses to the people that have made statements about his aggressiveness, show me you don't care if the dog scares some people, that's their fault for not understanding Buster, according to you. Classic example of blaming the victim.

I couldn't care less what you think of me. That's irrelevant and childish. My comments are based on what is in the story and comments you have made in response that shows me, a lack of understanding about animals and the possibilities. You take too many chances, “My 3-year-old daughter had opened the front door trying to look for me, and when she did, Buster just ran past her,” said Mr. Brightman. “He loves people and was just running up to him.”

Your 3 yr old daughter, was alone in the house unsupervised, with a dog that has been declared a vicious dog. I don't care how many times they've played together. That's just plain reckless. A 3 yr old should never be anywhere, without an adult's eyes on them, unless they are taking a nap.

If you think I have nothing better to do than make comments on this site, then you are just as stupid as you look.
