That's the first response of people trying to cover-up something, the story isn't true and contains inaccuracies. Only those who know and love Buster understand him, so those of you just living your normal lives and doing normal jobs, don't worry, he's just a big, lovable, hunk of muscle, yea, sure, ok.

When I walk gown the street and some dog comes out of nowhere, that I have never met and chases after me, i'm supposed to assume it's just a big lovable mutt, really? You read my response, i'm not one prone to panic. I could have had a dog put down and didn't.

I only responded to Mr. Brightman's response to me, "You seriously have nothing better to do, do you?" "Do your homework before you spout drivel from your fingertips. I believe though he may have issues eith (sic) postmen because last year at tge (sic) first incident, the mail carrier hit and kicked and sprayed him, so as far as he’s most likely concerned, post men aren’t friendly people. So with that said, get a life man" That's immature and argumentative. So as far as being immature, I would look a little closer to home. In other responses, Mr. Brightman has shown a level of anger and immaturity. I raised a girl on my own. I know how it goes. The point was that I don't care what the situation is, whether the dog has a good history with the child or not, he should have put the dog in a side room, before going into the bathroom and closing the door. Especially because it had been labeled a "vicious dog" at least once prior. If he was being attentive to her prior to going to the bathroom, why would she open the front door without him being there? One of the first things I taught my daughter was the front door was off limits, unless I was there. The whole story is one excuse after another. The usual signs of someone trying to cover mistakes. I commented on this story, much like I comment on any story. I do my homework. If Mr. Brightman knew me, he would know that. There have been many, asinine comments by Mr. Brightman that show he has a very limited knowledge of this breed of dog and dogs in general as well as other animals. "They were originally bred to be NANNY dogs to look after our children. Then, they were used in both great wars to help pull injured soldiers from harms way and to protect them til help arrives. It wasn’t until some selfish humans decided it would be a great idea to fight them. It’s always humans that muck things up." There was only one correct statement in that diatribe, the last sentence. Mr. Brightman needs to take a good look in the mirror, before he starts accusing other people of anything. "NANNY dogs" "to look after our children". I don't know where he comes from or was raised by, but, dogs are not and make terrible baby sitters. Is that why he is so angry, because he is using the dog as a babysitter? That statement indicates that it's a possibility. That's seriously irresponsible if it's true. I really don't care what you or he has to say about this matter or any other. My opinion, is just that, mine. If you or anyone else disagrees with it, that's your right. When you challenge me on it, you'd better be right or I will respond in unfriendly ways. If you don't like that, tough@#$%, grow up.

I'm sick and tired of irresponsible dog owners that think because they have a "right" to own an animal, that means the rest of us can go to hell.

I walk by a house on Narrows Rd. quite frequently. It is owned by a State cop. He has one of those electronic fences surrounding the property. It's on the corner of a busy street, with people walking by all day.

Woman with children in strollers, old people out for a walk, and others such as myself. He has two large dogs that pace back and forth, just out of arms reach, growling and snarling as you walk by the property. Nothing but this electronic fence between. 3'-4' off the sidewalk.

The other day the more aggressive of the two dogs stepped over the line towards me and when I slowed for a moment, getting ready for the attack, he went back. One of these days, he's gonna keep coming and i'm gonna have to defend myself from an 80 lb dog. I can only imagine the fear, woman with baby carriages feel, when they walk by.

I have zero tolerance and patience for irresponsible dog owners and couldn't care less what you or anyone else feels about it.
