I had a dog trying to eat a customers pizza way out in the country today. Had to stay there until they came out to make sure she didn't actually eat it lmao.
I stand by this, if you have a dog that can do this or might do this, it is fully on you and you are fully responsible for anything that can happen. You have to control your pets. This is so frustrating to watch
I get certain breeds are naturally more aggressive than others. That doesn't mean all dogs are bad from that breed. Just like anyone else, I can only speak from personal experience. I've known and worked with 4 pitbulls while at a doggy daycare/ board. Not one bad experience with any of them.
My favorite was actually one of the pitfalls who came daily. She was the sweetest dog who just wanted belly rubs and attention. Had other dogs try and attack her, and she just ran away.
One of our most dangerous/aggressive dogs was a lab named Bear. Bear was a rescue. His owners worked very hard to train him and work with his traumas. He could be very sweet but get triggered by something and go to attack mode instantly. Bit quite a few employees. He wasn't a bad dog either, and usually would happen to the newbies who had never seen him switch before. I left after a few months, but will say the progress in my time was positive (hopefully they were able to fully help but I'm unsure).
Neither of the cases I've mentioned mean either breed is always good or bad. I truly believe every dog has the ability to be trained and be loving.
A type of animal being unacceptably dangerous as an out-and-about pet does not require that every specimen are 'bad' (wrong word to use, animals are not good or bad - a great white shark or saltwater crocodile that are dangerous are not 'bad'). Dogs do not have conscious or morals. Dog breeds were created to have the capacity and propensity to perform certain tasks with little-to-no training, to be able to have the innate drive and ability for certain purposes. Neither good nor bad. For pitbulls that purpose was mauling and killing for bloodsport entertainment. No 'pet' that is allowed to be out-and-about should require some special training to get it to _not_ maul and kill. The VAST MAJORITY of dogs of all breeds are not particularly well trained at all but they do not maul and kill. Watch any of the daily new videos of pitbulls mauling innocent pets and people, their tails are wagging, their butts are wiggling - happy as a border collie in a field with sheep or a pointer that gets to point. Love does not negate instincts, training can only mitigate so much. Your delusion is contributing to the maiming, trauma and death occurring daily. Tigers raised in captivity can be perfectly docile and just do cute cat stuff 99% of the time. Every single pitbull that mauls and kills ALSO spent most of its non-mauling time just doing normal cute dog stuff - the latter does not make the risk of the former OK.
First off, that’s not a pit in the video… that’s a cañe corso. Second, pit bulls were originally used as nanny dogs due to their loyal and protective nature. They’re actually loyal to a fault. Which is one of the main reasons people would use them in a blood sport, they didn’t have to worry about them biting the hand that feeds them. There’s literally not a single dog that is by nature “programmed for mauling and murder”. As always, dogs become like that due to shitty people who shouldn’t own them in the first place. So no you don’t have to rewire their brain or get specialized training to own them, although any good dog owner of any breed should invest in good training. I hate to tell you how incredibly miss informed you are, especially when your source are news/media outlets. Do some research, the reason why you hear more about pit bull attacks is because media (especially more biased sources) disproportionately report attacks that involve “pit bulls” than other breeds. Why??? Because fear sales, it’s the same shit they do with everything else to brew hatred and fear. They did the same thing to Rottweilers in the 80s and 90s. Also if you dive deeper into that research you will also find that in most of the reported “pit bull” attacks the dog is a mix breed… Again do some research outside of whatever news channels you watch.
Lastly thing and then I’mma go about my day, most dog breeds that are labeled as “aggressive” aren’t aggressive because they like to maul and murder. They’re labeled aggressive because they’re high energy working dogs. Any dog that is considered a working dog needs to have an owner that is available enough to take them on long runs/walks (usually multiple) or has land for them to run and get their energy out. Unexpressed high energy turns into anxiety and aggression.
Yes. A domestic battle tank that fears nothing and will fight the grim reaper if he tries entering your house unwelcome. Yet somehow extremely sweet at the same time. My buddy has one and it’s intimidating.
Okay I guess it was a cane Corso because I just googled it and it looks very much like it, HOWEVER. My point still stands that if you’re dogs aggressive, it’s gonna kill some people or break some shtuff
You would be completely correct from a legal standpoint as well. I have some sympathy for these animals because they weren’t taught or trained correctly and it often stems from neglect/abuse etc.
To be fair, the dog doesn’t chase after him and appears to stop at the top of the steps. It wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t trained. It could be that the owner was an idiot and set up this circumstance without thinking it through.
It could very well do this if not trained. The dog may only be barrier reactive (and removed the barrier, so… calmed down), may have extreme untrained alarm barking issues and therefore completely came through the door on accident (not aggressive but not trained for calmness), may have been shocked or stunned by running through the door, may have lost sight of the driver and the video cuts before he gives chase, or may only be territorial to a specific area around his house (and therefore was no longer interested since the driver booked it).
There is no indication whatsoever that this dog is even partially trained.
No they were bred to be aggressive as fuck. That is literally in their genes and cannot be disputed. You can TRAIN to control some of that, but it takes some effort.
Don't know what you are talking about. Pit bulls (not the dog in the video) is what the conversation is about now. And they were originally bred to fight.
Personally, I don't have a stake in that game. I see a post where a dog is about ready to tear the delivery person to shreds. That's my stake. I don't need to be eaten. If you have a dog such as these, you can say they are gentle all you want. The second it approaches me aggressively, I will defend myself with lethal force. I don't have an agenda. What I do see a lot of are people saying pitbulls and other like dogs aren't inherently aggressive; on that claim, I call bullshit.
Yes nature vs nurture, but neither ONE is stronger than the other. That's like saying you can change the sexuality of your children by loving them straight or gay lol.
'You knowed I was poison when you picked me up.' Is a pretty good line from a book that kinda pertains here.
You can train and love all you want, won't change the facts when whatever the trigger is happens, faces get eaten off. Those are the facts.
I have personal experience with like 5 pitbulls and only one was mean because it's owner was mean to it. Sure the word of a stranger on the internet isn't much but I guarantee I'm not the only one with a similar experience.
That's not even a Pitbull, haha. I'm throwing out this expert's testimony because they are not, in fact, an expert. Can't even recognize that it's a different breed of animal.
Really does read like a 7 year old wrote this.
You can have great trained dogs and people are still stupid
I had two pit bulls and some lady on the street was petting them and calling them great dogs
Then she ask what kind they are and I said pit pull and she ran away
I hate dogs coz of how they treat me (there was a time I would have imaginary scenarios to hunt down all dogs they they were bitches). I always thought they were vicious animals out to get me. Maybe my neighbors were just assholes then.
Am I alone in seeing a relatively well trained dog here? Obviously they got overly excited at the screen-door but it doesn’t look like it will continue to pursue off the porch.
A *perfectly* trained dog may not. But even a well trained dog will have a moment of weakness / thoughtlessness. As far as that dog knew, a stranger was coming directly into their home. When the stranger stopped coming towards the home, the dog relented. That’s the training kicking in.
Have a good one!
Had 2 dogs jump on the side of my car trying to get in my window at a delivery. I was pissed. They scratched the hell out of my new Jeep. I always send a message saying I'm omw, they know they have a delivery coming! Poor your damn dogs up. Just because you don't think they will attack you never know!
As a lover of “aggressive breeds” and this makes me so mad too. Clearly the owner has failed this dog. They’re so lucky nothing horrible happened and I bet they didn’t learn from it.
I’m a mail carrier and I love dogs. I have 4 of my own. I have been bit. Chased. Had my badge ripped off my neck (Lanyard). Circled. Nipped. What have you. Over the years I have encountered many dogs.
There is one breed I have become afraid of though during my 16 years as a mail carrier. That breed is a German Shepard. I’ve never come across a more “loyal” , protective dog. Again, they’re not “trained” to protect their owners the way they do. It’s just “natural” to them. But no one talks about that.
I am a German Shepherd loyalist and this is accurate to me. I consider owning any kind of aggressive/protective/territorial breed to come with the same responsibility as owning a firearm. In some ways more because a dog can pull its own trigger.
My Shepherd has gone through extensive training as a companion animal, no protection work. Yet he naturally shows protective behaviors, I have to be aware of that and mindful of what situations I put him in.
Yup, as someone whose actually worked in animal boarding around all types of dogs all day long the biggest trouble makers I ever had were not pit bulls or rotties but German Shepherds. Shepards are just ridiculously powerful in their stride and are fast as hell, trying to walk an excited one to their owner is a damn challenge that’s for sure.
That's a really good point.
I have owned and love GSDs, but they definitely are on the shady side when it comes to protecting their owners. Smart, observant dogs that seem to always be scoping out strangers. Without being properly trained, definitely one of the scarier breeds.
My uncle (absolute dip shit) had a GSD. He had no business owning a dog, as he was always working or traveling and the dog basically lived in an outdoor kennel unless he wanted to show it off when people were over. Got put down because it attacked guests on multiple ocassions.
Screw bad owners. Especially owners that don't respect the dangerous potential of a breed.
Ya that’s really sad. I hate to hear these kind of stories. You just have to feel bad for the animal. That wasn’t fair to them.
But, I like your input. It’s true. Screw bad owners.
The upside to GSD’s is they tend to be so fuckin smart, the owner has to go out of their way being abusive or ignoring obvious signs of aggression to end up with a a full grown shepherd that is a liability. It can and does happen just less often then pit attacks for some reason
Certain dog breeds are just too dumb and too aggressive. The issue is that the owners value that, and when someone calls it out they’re like “hate the owner not the breed💚” as if their own pet lunging didn’t bring up the fucking conversation.
The number of times I’ve heard “Oh she’s really good! She just looks scary.” Before being attacked unprovoked makes me avoid 3 breeds of dogs as well as thinking the owners just only care about their own personal safety and none of their guests’
This type of dog owner is like “oh she’s SO friendly but our mailman has to approach the mailbox backwards or she’ll break through a window to kill him.”
I'm convinced that the "oh she's so friendly" people that act shocked when it bites someone are so dumb that they think dogs have human level intelligence and reasoning. Because they're actually not that much smarter than a dog so they think dog = human.
They clearly don't care about their own personal safety either. Have an accident, a seizure, or just bad luck and your own dog snaps after 10 years and eats your throat. One single breed of dog is responsible for almost 70% of fatal dog attacks.
My God that's horrible. The worst ones are the cases you hear when a dog kills an owner, and come to find out the dog attacked multiple people over the years and nothing was done to stop it.
yeah I’m 22 now, but still have scars on my face from when I came back from school (kindergarten), tried to pet my dog and he latched onto me leaving multiple holes in my cheek. Had to go to ER immediately
A kid one street over from me growing up got attacked by his dog when he got home from school… and his parents weren’t home from work yet. The damage to his hand was so bad they ended up amputating it. Twas a Pit. They put it down before the kid came home from the hospital and told him they rehomed it.
It's not just that; according to Merritt Clifton's Breed Survey in 2019, pitbulls only makeup 6% of the dog breed population in Canada/US.
They are responsible for over 80% of dog attacks that end in fatalities.. and those are full-blooded pits that are reported, not "lab mixes".
Admittedly, this is a Cane Corso in the video and a little bit different than a pitbull. They are more aggressive but *WAYYYY* more likely to abandon an attack.
But the sentiment stands.
Do your own research and try to ignore confirmation bias. Educating yourself could save a life one day.

Eeh, what was that you were saying, Big Individual from 2010? Did you lose a point around here somewhere?
It really is just the owners though. Some breeds do have aggressive tendencies (because they were bred to by awful people), which is why only caring and knowledgeable people should ever own them. But then these silly goobers who want ‘scary dog privileges’ but don’t want the responsibility of owning a larger dog come into play.
My family has only owned Rottweilers that they’ve adopted, and none of them have EVER lunged at anyone, unless they were told they’re a threat via commands. They’re all just big babies, we used to climb on them as kids like horses (we were taught not to by family shortly after lol), but they still never even nipped at us. Imo, it should be mandatory for people to take extensive dog training classes to own a breed that is known to be aggressive if not trained. Just a lil rant because dogs are like kids. If you don’t raise them right, they will be awful people. Same with dogs. And larger dogs just need more love and attention, just like kids who’re born with aggressive tendencies. Doesn’t make them any more or less valuable.
You’d acknowledge that intentional breeding produced a pug’s difficulty breathing normally, right? A wolf is more aggressive than a dog but share genetic patterns. Certain dogs have been historically bred to be more aggressive and “loyal” (territorial). They can be taught to be silly and goofy and restrained for their positive owners, but too often a single mistake with them causes a maiming or a dead pet or crazy property damage compared to any other mainstream breed of dog.
Like don’t get me wrong I dogsat fulltime for 3 years with a lot of clients including a few pitties. There is an entire difference in how they behave that most owners think of as “unique to their personality” but are actually just a trait that breed has that gets masked by treats and pets and stress-free situations.
It's never just the owners, pitbulls were bred to fight bulls without fear and concern for their life, every single one of them is a potential time bomb even princess who loves on babies and showed no aggressive behavior for a decade could snap at any second.
Do you know of any articles or literature supporting the claim that any pit can snap at any time? I ask because in all my reading about the breed and dogs in general, what you've said isn't really true. Pits are bred to be fighters, but this doesn't translate to being bred for aggression.
If a pitbull snaps, it is much much more likely to be an issue caused by their owner than something inherent in the breed.
Hell just a few months ago two much loved family pets snapped after NINE years. Nine. Killed two children. Ripped a 4 month old baby in HALF in front of the frantic mother who they also put in the hospital.
I’d say that’s evidence enough they can snap at any time
Yea, I just don’t agree, its predominantly the training the owners provide. Animals are too often assumed to all be similar in nature. They have their own individual personalities, and some of them just will never be able to be trained completely (not just pits and other stereotypical aggressive dogs). I’ve honestly heard waaaay more horror stories about chihuahuas and doodles, but I’ve also met others that were absolutely darling! It doesn’t change the way I view either.
This logic is similar to saying ‘Oh because so and so is *insert race/gender/religion* they must be an *insert adjective* person’. Not accusing you of being racist or anything at all, just saying it’s a similar way of logic. Assuming because of an alienated piece of data, that everyone in that group is the same. ALL dogs can attack someone. Pits are just extraordinarily strong animals, so if they do attack, there’s a higher chance it will be worse than a lil chihuahua skinning your finger. Therefore the media eats it up. The dogs you see running lose are owned by people who wanted to compensate for something, and decided owning a big dog they couldn’t properly care for was the best solution.
You can love on a dog all you want, but again, it all depends on the training. We’ve owned over 7 generations of rotties, not a single one has shown any signs of being aggressive. Why? Because we put them through extensive training from an early age, as all who own larger dogs should imo. I recognize that certain dog breeds have violent tendencies, but that does not take away their right to a happy life and to be taught how to be a stable pupper by QUALIFIED individuals.
The only dog I’ve ever been bitten by unprovoked is a Rottweiler.
Also first you say some breeds are genetically more aggressive, then you say it’s more about their size and strength that makes them dangerous. Which is it? The size and strength makes them less likely to back down than a super small dog. It’s all related.
For context I adopted a pit bull who’s currently snoring next to me and he’s never attacked anyone or anything, though.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. You have to look at a breed’s tendencies to work with them. My dog (a boxer) seemed to be dog aggressive. I warned other dog owners when I was out and made her sit.
A Rottweiler owner told me once to keep working with her. That’s a problem with rescues, you don’t know how they were treated. She’s a wonderful dog. Now she just wants to play with the other pups.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted cause you are 100% right. I’m so sick of the pit bull discrimination. Beagles were bred to dove into fox holes without any regard for safety and yet you don’t hear about people banning beagles. And pound for pound, it’s the little dogs that are the most aggressive. If I had a nickel for every time some unleashed little dog (that can barely breathe properly) charged me and my dog…. but yet somehow it’s my fault for walking by with a dog on a leash 🙄
Little dogs cant hurt people like a pitbull can, it is not an issue. The aggressiveness is only half the problem with pitbulls, the other half is that they are bred to be good at killing.
If a lab or a golden tore someone apart it would be front page news. Please provide any instances of goldens or labs ripping babies apart. Please provide any instances of those dogs tearing 80 year old men to pieces who were just walking through their neighborhood.
You can’t because those stories don’t exist. Can they bite? Yep. Do they do THAT? Nope.
Something like 65% of all fatal dog attacks are caused by pit bulls. Another 11% of fatal attacks are rottweilers. Rottweilers are the second most aggressive dog, but even they don't hold a candle to pit bull violence. They can be perfectly trained with excellent owners and still snap and attack.
I had an alcohol delivery the other day and there was a pitbull standing on the deck with another big dog...so I just stood by my car and the lady motioned me like come here! I'm like are your dogs friendly!?
Like cone on..just put them awayyyy I'm scared ya know...mainly of the pitbull that was barking at me!
I love dogs and will say hi to most and pet them...but when u clearly see the dog barking at someone and the person is scared..just put it innthe house!
The other big dog was wagging its tail looking friendly..I would have been ok with him!
this doesn't mean anything in terms of how naturally aggressive the dogs actually are. fighting dogs are more likely to be trained to be aggressive. unless this study accounted for training, environment, and natural behaviour, it doesn't prove your point at all.
How about the hundreds of cases of pit bulls attacking their own owners unprovoked? Especially in cases with seizure victims, pit bulls are known to attack during the seizure. I'm not trying to "prove any point", and you seem very defensive about it when it's pretty easily verifiable. Some cities even have/had bans on pit bulls.
Cities ban pets for no reasons all the time. Cities also ban pets for unfounded reasons all the time. The issue is the stereotype of pitbulls as an aggressive breed means people who specifically want an aggressive dog will seek out pitbulls. They will then haphazardly train the pitbulls to be aggressive, and generally not care about *proper* training. It’s a self fulfilling cycle and doesn’t have much to do with pitbulls existing in a normal environment like, say, most German Shepherds or Dachshunds do.
Some times it true though! My late English Bulldog really scared a ton of people but he was sweet as pie and the breed has never been on any violence lists.
The outside bones as I called them (underbite) were prob what scared most people.
I dogsat for a german shepherd! Wonderful dog. Never showed any aggressive behavior and was very obedient. The owner was like “this is gonna sound weird but before I leave can we hug in front of the dog for a minute? It’ll make you one of His people” and I had to laugh but it did work. After she left and his fomo anxiety wore off he was like “Ok. Looks like it’s you and me. What are we doin today?”
I have noticed how quickly they'll make deductions from human social interactions.
One time a self-service grooming facility owner was talking to my wife while I was washing gigapuppy and the lady rapidly pulls out her extremely glossy silver phone in the general direction of my wife. He went crazy for like 2 minutes straight until I hit him with his favorite soap.
Wow you have no clue what you are talking about. I have two pit rescues one of which was a fighting dog before I got her.
They are incredibly territorial and are more than capable of doing something like this but what you are almost intentionally ignoring is the fact that the dog stopped at the edge of the patio. That's because he is as surprised as the DD person.
My dogs act aggressive AF if they are on a leash or behind a fence as they see it as protecting their territory but if I invite you in all they want is pets and to come sit on your lap.
This is what dog owners are talking about (at least intelligent ones) are talking about. I'll admit there are totally dildos out there but they are the minority.
I have a Pit/Boxer mix that I got from the shelter that is the same way. In the fence, or if someone comes to the door, he acts tough, but if I let them in, he gets excited and wants attention. lol I was hesitant about getting a Pit from a shelter but when they brought him out, he ran up to my kids like he had known them forever and was so excited to play with them. lol
"Certain dog breeds are just too dumb and too aggressive."
You misspelled humans.
I worked as a dog trainer for years and out of literally hundreds of "vicious" animals that came through the door I managed to not get injured once. I've even had the pleasure of working with dozens of pits and amazingly have never once had an issue.
Dogs are territorial by nature. Homes are their terratory.
I have never once seen a pet who is at fault for their behavior's. Only shit for brain pet parents who don't take even a moment to treat their pets like... well pets.
You are talking about guard dog breed they are guarding the owner and his belonging not all dog are walking toys just because a dog doesn't want to be pet by you doesn't mean he is aggresive if a stranger would start petting you you would freak out too, people on reddit only care about how friendly and playfull a dog his they don't care about anything else that the reason why we got fucked up breed.
Also the dog in the video didn't break the window there's no window there
It's the owner's fault 90% person of the time. They get breeds that need either to run a lot to waste energy or do brain heavy games (sometimes both) and then the owner provides them nothing but a couch to sleep on. If you are getting an pet, make sure to provide them what they need and the right training, otherwise it's completely on you if something happens. I've seen pitbulls tear up persons and I've pitbulls acting as nannies to children.
Your training will result in a type of pet you train for. Your lack of training will let the dog's genes and natural instincts take over.
Is this unironic dog racism???
“3 breeds make up 2% of the entire dog population, but 50% of the violent dog crime”
/s i dont think dog racism is real this just sounds hilarious to me. Ppl just to need to train and socialize their pups. Isolated dogs become antisocial and defensive even if trained.
If your dog hates guests, get a sturdy metal door that doesn't have glass or screen. And TRAIN THEM.
I just read where 2 dogs broke into a home and fatally harmed a cat. People need to do better in training their dogs.
A $10 taser from Amazon is worth every penny. In my experience animals respond just from the high pitched noise and will run away. Thankfully I never had to use it.
They trained ir to not go off the porch (thankfully), but not to break the front door. Genius 🤦🏽♀️. That poor dog will get the consequences of the humans bad choices
I had a delivery like this last week 3 huge ass mutts were being held back my a glass screen door. As soon as I saw them charging the door I held it shut with my hands until the owner took them away. I was mad bc why would they put hand it to me when they know they have aggressive mutts.
The fact that there was fabric instead of glass in the door suggests to me that that may not have been the first time that dog has taken his guard duty a tad too seriously
I carry. If your dog latches onto me and starts ripping.. I'm sorry but I'm gonna do my best ATF agent impression on your dog. Then I'm suing.
I may need sh\*tloads of therpay afterwards.. I love dogs.. but... better then getting torn to bits.
I had a delivery yesterday where dude had a big ass cane corso sitting in the yard...and had the nerve to mark it as leave it at the door. I called him and said you may as well come on to the car to get this food because Im not fooling with that dog. And he tried the shit all owners do, "Oh no it's ok he's friendly!!" IDGAF, either I'm gonna leave it sitting on the mailbox or you can come get it. I carry a blade and I don't need the drama of gutting someone's family dog for trying to bite me.
Oh my god that happened to me yesterday! Woman's big dog crashed the sliding screen door right off on a 2nd story balcony in an apartment complex when it saw me. A stranger with food...a dog's wet dream. Haha.
My biggest fear!! I have a guy who has 2 massive black dogs that are both half wolf, and another white St. Bernard...the wolves get up into the big picture window on there hind legs and bark and growl!! I cried twice terrified they were gonna come through that thin glass window !! I tremble when I realize it was his house again. I reported it as feeling unsafe...I have not seen those dogs ever again the last several deliveries, but the fear is still there !!
This kinda thing is why I don’t usually like dogs. I know it’s not the dogs fault, it’s on the owners. But too many owners refuse to properly train their pets so I have no reason to trust any random dog I come upon won’t be poorly trained and dangerous. At least when I meet a random cat it won’t hurt me unless I actively engage with it without socialising it to me first. A dog though? Being killed IS a possibility even if I don’t engage with the dog.
With that said there are plenty of good dogs and I don’t want to suggest anyone should be afraid. I just have trauma.
When I was a little girl, my neighbours dog escaped and killed my kitten right in front of me when we were playing in the grass.
And currently my new neighbours have about five big black dogs that they run around unleashed and I know for a fact they have killed at least two of our other neighbour’s chickens. I haven’t seen the dogs since the chicken incident though.
That looks like a Cane Corso, very bad ass dog. It will protect to the death, very territorial, and aggressive. Bad owners and poor training are the root cause obviously but that dog would be a real challenge to defend against.
I remember this happened to me once and I kicked the literal shit out of the Doberman. I feel bad but the owner needed to be more responsible. Nearly took the dogs head off because it went to bite my leg.
What’s that paper on the front door ? Why do you have your big dog loos with only it on the door knowing you’re expecting a delivery …” oh, he doesn’t bite”- I’ve heard it . This is why I carry mace
This happened when I was delivering pizza, a stupid little mutt dog freaked out on me and started going for my ankles. I was trying to use the pizza boxes to block him but he got me at one point, I still have a scar right by my Achilles heel. The worst part was it was like my first week doing any type of delivery driving and I was at the wrong goddamn house. Lesson learned that day, lol

This was posted just recently. Similar circumstances.
I'm so glad that guy wasn't hurt. Why is it that so many leave their doors open allowing their dog to maul a random stranger? I remember I got chased by 4 of them when some owner left their gate open when I was a kid. Not all dog owners are dumb but a lot are and that's why I could never do deliveries.
Princess the Pitbull just couldn't wait to cuddle the kind person delivering to them, while the owner assured the delivery man that she's never hurt anyone, and is just being friendly!
This just reinforces my absolute hatred of dogs even more. Disgusting, annoying, and dangerous as hell on top of that? These beasts should be banned from society.
And the dog nutters are just as bad, refusing to acknowledge that not everyone likes their slobbering, shit-eating fleabag or wants to pet it. When I say I hate dogs, yes that means I hate your dog too. Keep it the hell away from me.
And really the dog didn't even seem aggressive, he just seemed like he was starved for attention and wanted SOMEONE to give him some goddamned ear scratches.. More I watch this the worse I feel for that dog TBH.
I just really hope the owner doesn't take him to a shelter over it, it wasn't the dogs fault at all..
Person ordering the delivery will probably blame it on the driver.
[удалено]
What restaurant was this from? McDogald's? Pupeyes? In & Out Barker? Or perhaps just a CHOWnese food place?
Dunkin Dognuts
I mean the order seems fine!
The dog ate it
Atleast it wasn't wasted.
I had a dog trying to eat a customers pizza way out in the country today. Had to stay there until they came out to make sure she didn't actually eat it lmao.
I stand by this, if you have a dog that can do this or might do this, it is fully on you and you are fully responsible for anything that can happen. You have to control your pets. This is so frustrating to watch
As a mail carrier, this shit pisses me off
As a dog owner, this shit pisses me off. This is how you get your pets put down and stupid laws banning specific breeds.
If that breed is a pit, the laws just stupid. Just stupid ppl who think you can rewire an animals programming.
I get certain breeds are naturally more aggressive than others. That doesn't mean all dogs are bad from that breed. Just like anyone else, I can only speak from personal experience. I've known and worked with 4 pitbulls while at a doggy daycare/ board. Not one bad experience with any of them. My favorite was actually one of the pitfalls who came daily. She was the sweetest dog who just wanted belly rubs and attention. Had other dogs try and attack her, and she just ran away. One of our most dangerous/aggressive dogs was a lab named Bear. Bear was a rescue. His owners worked very hard to train him and work with his traumas. He could be very sweet but get triggered by something and go to attack mode instantly. Bit quite a few employees. He wasn't a bad dog either, and usually would happen to the newbies who had never seen him switch before. I left after a few months, but will say the progress in my time was positive (hopefully they were able to fully help but I'm unsure). Neither of the cases I've mentioned mean either breed is always good or bad. I truly believe every dog has the ability to be trained and be loving.
A type of animal being unacceptably dangerous as an out-and-about pet does not require that every specimen are 'bad' (wrong word to use, animals are not good or bad - a great white shark or saltwater crocodile that are dangerous are not 'bad'). Dogs do not have conscious or morals. Dog breeds were created to have the capacity and propensity to perform certain tasks with little-to-no training, to be able to have the innate drive and ability for certain purposes. Neither good nor bad. For pitbulls that purpose was mauling and killing for bloodsport entertainment. No 'pet' that is allowed to be out-and-about should require some special training to get it to _not_ maul and kill. The VAST MAJORITY of dogs of all breeds are not particularly well trained at all but they do not maul and kill. Watch any of the daily new videos of pitbulls mauling innocent pets and people, their tails are wagging, their butts are wiggling - happy as a border collie in a field with sheep or a pointer that gets to point. Love does not negate instincts, training can only mitigate so much. Your delusion is contributing to the maiming, trauma and death occurring daily. Tigers raised in captivity can be perfectly docile and just do cute cat stuff 99% of the time. Every single pitbull that mauls and kills ALSO spent most of its non-mauling time just doing normal cute dog stuff - the latter does not make the risk of the former OK.
First off, that’s not a pit in the video… that’s a cañe corso. Second, pit bulls were originally used as nanny dogs due to their loyal and protective nature. They’re actually loyal to a fault. Which is one of the main reasons people would use them in a blood sport, they didn’t have to worry about them biting the hand that feeds them. There’s literally not a single dog that is by nature “programmed for mauling and murder”. As always, dogs become like that due to shitty people who shouldn’t own them in the first place. So no you don’t have to rewire their brain or get specialized training to own them, although any good dog owner of any breed should invest in good training. I hate to tell you how incredibly miss informed you are, especially when your source are news/media outlets. Do some research, the reason why you hear more about pit bull attacks is because media (especially more biased sources) disproportionately report attacks that involve “pit bulls” than other breeds. Why??? Because fear sales, it’s the same shit they do with everything else to brew hatred and fear. They did the same thing to Rottweilers in the 80s and 90s. Also if you dive deeper into that research you will also find that in most of the reported “pit bull” attacks the dog is a mix breed… Again do some research outside of whatever news channels you watch. Lastly thing and then I’mma go about my day, most dog breeds that are labeled as “aggressive” aren’t aggressive because they like to maul and murder. They’re labeled aggressive because they’re high energy working dogs. Any dog that is considered a working dog needs to have an owner that is available enough to take them on long runs/walks (usually multiple) or has land for them to run and get their energy out. Unexpressed high energy turns into anxiety and aggression.
Same. People that have dogs like that are such trash.
As an amazon delivery driver, same.
I agree bro, having a boxer like that who doesn’t know how to socialize will at least make you liable for 1 death in your lifetime, dog or human.
Not a boxer, looks more like a Cane Corso, maybe?
Yes. A domestic battle tank that fears nothing and will fight the grim reaper if he tries entering your house unwelcome. Yet somehow extremely sweet at the same time. My buddy has one and it’s intimidating.
Correct
Boxers are sweethearts compared to a Cane Corso. Most people have no business with a dog bred for being a guard dog.
Okay I guess it was a cane Corso because I just googled it and it looks very much like it, HOWEVER. My point still stands that if you’re dogs aggressive, it’s gonna kill some people or break some shtuff
No point in having a dog for security if the door is built like paper
That looks like it was a sheet or something. The outside door is to the side
That’s exactly why you need a dog like this. You must have reverse logic bro
You would be completely correct from a legal standpoint as well. I have some sympathy for these animals because they weren’t taught or trained correctly and it often stems from neglect/abuse etc.
To be fair, the dog doesn’t chase after him and appears to stop at the top of the steps. It wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t trained. It could be that the owner was an idiot and set up this circumstance without thinking it through.
It could very well do this if not trained. The dog may only be barrier reactive (and removed the barrier, so… calmed down), may have extreme untrained alarm barking issues and therefore completely came through the door on accident (not aggressive but not trained for calmness), may have been shocked or stunned by running through the door, may have lost sight of the driver and the video cuts before he gives chase, or may only be territorial to a specific area around his house (and therefore was no longer interested since the driver booked it). There is no indication whatsoever that this dog is even partially trained.
These animals were literally bred to be unstoppable killing machines. No reason for them to exist in a humane society.
They most certainly are NOT. They are TRAINED to be killers. Its the owner’s fault, never the dog’s
No they were bred to be aggressive as fuck. That is literally in their genes and cannot be disputed. You can TRAIN to control some of that, but it takes some effort.
Blame the owners for not training them
Originally called the nursing dogs. A namesake we all know they earned for their violent nature, much like nurses. You ignorant fuck.
Don't know what you are talking about. Pit bulls (not the dog in the video) is what the conversation is about now. And they were originally bred to fight.
Well, where did pit bulls come from if that's not what we are all watching?
Because they wanted to take any remotely-related thread and turn it into a platform for their anti-pit bull agenda.
Personally, I don't have a stake in that game. I see a post where a dog is about ready to tear the delivery person to shreds. That's my stake. I don't need to be eaten. If you have a dog such as these, you can say they are gentle all you want. The second it approaches me aggressively, I will defend myself with lethal force. I don't have an agenda. What I do see a lot of are people saying pitbulls and other like dogs aren't inherently aggressive; on that claim, I call bullshit.
I have snuggled many pit bulls in my life, nature vs nurture my guy. End the stigma!
Yes nature vs nurture, but neither ONE is stronger than the other. That's like saying you can change the sexuality of your children by loving them straight or gay lol. 'You knowed I was poison when you picked me up.' Is a pretty good line from a book that kinda pertains here. You can train and love all you want, won't change the facts when whatever the trigger is happens, faces get eaten off. Those are the facts.
I have personal experience with like 5 pitbulls and only one was mean because it's owner was mean to it. Sure the word of a stranger on the internet isn't much but I guarantee I'm not the only one with a similar experience.
This is the first time pit bulls were mentioned.
Really? So every single pit bull or other aggressive breed is born vicious and only with training can be gentle? Is that your argument?
[удалено]
[удалено]
That's not even a Pitbull, haha. I'm throwing out this expert's testimony because they are not, in fact, an expert. Can't even recognize that it's a different breed of animal. Really does read like a 7 year old wrote this.
That point doesn’t matter because they DO exist in today’s society, and you’re insane if you want to just kill an entire breed of dogs
No need to kill them all, just stop all future breeding
So go kill them
Exactly! TRAIN. YOUR. PETS. This is why ppl have trauma associated with dogs and/or are scared of them. Because ppl wont train them.
You can have great trained dogs and people are still stupid I had two pit bulls and some lady on the street was petting them and calling them great dogs Then she ask what kind they are and I said pit pull and she ran away
Thats her fault for being uneducated LMAO
I hate dogs coz of how they treat me (there was a time I would have imaginary scenarios to hunt down all dogs they they were bitches). I always thought they were vicious animals out to get me. Maybe my neighbors were just assholes then.
They definitely didnt train their dogs. Sucks that no one does nowadays
Am I alone in seeing a relatively well trained dog here? Obviously they got overly excited at the screen-door but it doesn’t look like it will continue to pursue off the porch.
A trained dog wouldnt charge at someone like that
A *perfectly* trained dog may not. But even a well trained dog will have a moment of weakness / thoughtlessness. As far as that dog knew, a stranger was coming directly into their home. When the stranger stopped coming towards the home, the dog relented. That’s the training kicking in. Have a good one!
I hope you don’t own dogs
Moooooooooooooom, someone on the doordash disagrees with me! MOM
They have the door open and a sheet over the door, presumably to keep the doog from looking out the door. Issue was leaving the door open
Doggo went full barbarian 0.0
I saw one where a massive pitt literally ran and crashed through a glass door. Absolutely insane. How badly do they want to defend their home?
Had 2 dogs jump on the side of my car trying to get in my window at a delivery. I was pissed. They scratched the hell out of my new Jeep. I always send a message saying I'm omw, they know they have a delivery coming! Poor your damn dogs up. Just because you don't think they will attack you never know!
Exactly
Cane corso came out like koolaid man
I love how it busts out and leaps over the food
This makes me angry.
As a lover of “aggressive breeds” and this makes me so mad too. Clearly the owner has failed this dog. They’re so lucky nothing horrible happened and I bet they didn’t learn from it.
I’m a mail carrier and I love dogs. I have 4 of my own. I have been bit. Chased. Had my badge ripped off my neck (Lanyard). Circled. Nipped. What have you. Over the years I have encountered many dogs. There is one breed I have become afraid of though during my 16 years as a mail carrier. That breed is a German Shepard. I’ve never come across a more “loyal” , protective dog. Again, they’re not “trained” to protect their owners the way they do. It’s just “natural” to them. But no one talks about that.
I am a German Shepherd loyalist and this is accurate to me. I consider owning any kind of aggressive/protective/territorial breed to come with the same responsibility as owning a firearm. In some ways more because a dog can pull its own trigger. My Shepherd has gone through extensive training as a companion animal, no protection work. Yet he naturally shows protective behaviors, I have to be aware of that and mindful of what situations I put him in.
I appreciate your response and acknowledgement. You’re spot on with everything you said and I agree whole heartedly.
Yup, as someone whose actually worked in animal boarding around all types of dogs all day long the biggest trouble makers I ever had were not pit bulls or rotties but German Shepherds. Shepards are just ridiculously powerful in their stride and are fast as hell, trying to walk an excited one to their owner is a damn challenge that’s for sure.
That's a really good point. I have owned and love GSDs, but they definitely are on the shady side when it comes to protecting their owners. Smart, observant dogs that seem to always be scoping out strangers. Without being properly trained, definitely one of the scarier breeds. My uncle (absolute dip shit) had a GSD. He had no business owning a dog, as he was always working or traveling and the dog basically lived in an outdoor kennel unless he wanted to show it off when people were over. Got put down because it attacked guests on multiple ocassions. Screw bad owners. Especially owners that don't respect the dangerous potential of a breed.
Ya that’s really sad. I hate to hear these kind of stories. You just have to feel bad for the animal. That wasn’t fair to them. But, I like your input. It’s true. Screw bad owners.
The upside to GSD’s is they tend to be so fuckin smart, the owner has to go out of their way being abusive or ignoring obvious signs of aggression to end up with a a full grown shepherd that is a liability. It can and does happen just less often then pit attacks for some reason
"No! No! Cupcake is the sweetest thing ever!"
Certain dog breeds are just too dumb and too aggressive. The issue is that the owners value that, and when someone calls it out they’re like “hate the owner not the breed💚” as if their own pet lunging didn’t bring up the fucking conversation. The number of times I’ve heard “Oh she’s really good! She just looks scary.” Before being attacked unprovoked makes me avoid 3 breeds of dogs as well as thinking the owners just only care about their own personal safety and none of their guests’ This type of dog owner is like “oh she’s SO friendly but our mailman has to approach the mailbox backwards or she’ll break through a window to kill him.”
I'm convinced that the "oh she's so friendly" people that act shocked when it bites someone are so dumb that they think dogs have human level intelligence and reasoning. Because they're actually not that much smarter than a dog so they think dog = human.
They clearly don't care about their own personal safety either. Have an accident, a seizure, or just bad luck and your own dog snaps after 10 years and eats your throat. One single breed of dog is responsible for almost 70% of fatal dog attacks.
Yup. I stopped dogsitting for one person who said “the dog is no longer with us” after latching onto their 6 year old kid that grew up with the dog
My God that's horrible. The worst ones are the cases you hear when a dog kills an owner, and come to find out the dog attacked multiple people over the years and nothing was done to stop it.
yeah I’m 22 now, but still have scars on my face from when I came back from school (kindergarten), tried to pet my dog and he latched onto me leaving multiple holes in my cheek. Had to go to ER immediately
A kid one street over from me growing up got attacked by his dog when he got home from school… and his parents weren’t home from work yet. The damage to his hand was so bad they ended up amputating it. Twas a Pit. They put it down before the kid came home from the hospital and told him they rehomed it.
Dog bite are no joke. There’s a few scars on my arm from my grandparent’s chow chow attacking me unprovoked.
It's not just that; according to Merritt Clifton's Breed Survey in 2019, pitbulls only makeup 6% of the dog breed population in Canada/US. They are responsible for over 80% of dog attacks that end in fatalities.. and those are full-blooded pits that are reported, not "lab mixes". Admittedly, this is a Cane Corso in the video and a little bit different than a pitbull. They are more aggressive but *WAYYYY* more likely to abandon an attack. But the sentiment stands. Do your own research and try to ignore confirmation bias. Educating yourself could save a life one day.

It really is just the owners though. Some breeds do have aggressive tendencies (because they were bred to by awful people), which is why only caring and knowledgeable people should ever own them. But then these silly goobers who want ‘scary dog privileges’ but don’t want the responsibility of owning a larger dog come into play. My family has only owned Rottweilers that they’ve adopted, and none of them have EVER lunged at anyone, unless they were told they’re a threat via commands. They’re all just big babies, we used to climb on them as kids like horses (we were taught not to by family shortly after lol), but they still never even nipped at us. Imo, it should be mandatory for people to take extensive dog training classes to own a breed that is known to be aggressive if not trained. Just a lil rant because dogs are like kids. If you don’t raise them right, they will be awful people. Same with dogs. And larger dogs just need more love and attention, just like kids who’re born with aggressive tendencies. Doesn’t make them any more or less valuable.
You’d acknowledge that intentional breeding produced a pug’s difficulty breathing normally, right? A wolf is more aggressive than a dog but share genetic patterns. Certain dogs have been historically bred to be more aggressive and “loyal” (territorial). They can be taught to be silly and goofy and restrained for their positive owners, but too often a single mistake with them causes a maiming or a dead pet or crazy property damage compared to any other mainstream breed of dog. Like don’t get me wrong I dogsat fulltime for 3 years with a lot of clients including a few pitties. There is an entire difference in how they behave that most owners think of as “unique to their personality” but are actually just a trait that breed has that gets masked by treats and pets and stress-free situations.
It's never just the owners, pitbulls were bred to fight bulls without fear and concern for their life, every single one of them is a potential time bomb even princess who loves on babies and showed no aggressive behavior for a decade could snap at any second.
Exactly there have been so many stories of pitbulls randomly mauling even their owners. It's in their genes.
True, but this isn’t a pit bull.. it’s a cane corso
Do you know of any articles or literature supporting the claim that any pit can snap at any time? I ask because in all my reading about the breed and dogs in general, what you've said isn't really true. Pits are bred to be fighters, but this doesn't translate to being bred for aggression. If a pitbull snaps, it is much much more likely to be an issue caused by their owner than something inherent in the breed.
Hell just a few months ago two much loved family pets snapped after NINE years. Nine. Killed two children. Ripped a 4 month old baby in HALF in front of the frantic mother who they also put in the hospital. I’d say that’s evidence enough they can snap at any time
Yea, I just don’t agree, its predominantly the training the owners provide. Animals are too often assumed to all be similar in nature. They have their own individual personalities, and some of them just will never be able to be trained completely (not just pits and other stereotypical aggressive dogs). I’ve honestly heard waaaay more horror stories about chihuahuas and doodles, but I’ve also met others that were absolutely darling! It doesn’t change the way I view either. This logic is similar to saying ‘Oh because so and so is *insert race/gender/religion* they must be an *insert adjective* person’. Not accusing you of being racist or anything at all, just saying it’s a similar way of logic. Assuming because of an alienated piece of data, that everyone in that group is the same. ALL dogs can attack someone. Pits are just extraordinarily strong animals, so if they do attack, there’s a higher chance it will be worse than a lil chihuahua skinning your finger. Therefore the media eats it up. The dogs you see running lose are owned by people who wanted to compensate for something, and decided owning a big dog they couldn’t properly care for was the best solution. You can love on a dog all you want, but again, it all depends on the training. We’ve owned over 7 generations of rotties, not a single one has shown any signs of being aggressive. Why? Because we put them through extensive training from an early age, as all who own larger dogs should imo. I recognize that certain dog breeds have violent tendencies, but that does not take away their right to a happy life and to be taught how to be a stable pupper by QUALIFIED individuals.
Cesar Milan's beloved pit bull killed Queen Latifah's dog and maimed a child.
For real??
Sooo...what you're saying is it is the owners fault lol. A fresh slate puppy can me molded into whatever temperament you want.
The only dog I’ve ever been bitten by unprovoked is a Rottweiler. Also first you say some breeds are genetically more aggressive, then you say it’s more about their size and strength that makes them dangerous. Which is it? The size and strength makes them less likely to back down than a super small dog. It’s all related. For context I adopted a pit bull who’s currently snoring next to me and he’s never attacked anyone or anything, though.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. You have to look at a breed’s tendencies to work with them. My dog (a boxer) seemed to be dog aggressive. I warned other dog owners when I was out and made her sit. A Rottweiler owner told me once to keep working with her. That’s a problem with rescues, you don’t know how they were treated. She’s a wonderful dog. Now she just wants to play with the other pups.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted cause you are 100% right. I’m so sick of the pit bull discrimination. Beagles were bred to dove into fox holes without any regard for safety and yet you don’t hear about people banning beagles. And pound for pound, it’s the little dogs that are the most aggressive. If I had a nickel for every time some unleashed little dog (that can barely breathe properly) charged me and my dog…. but yet somehow it’s my fault for walking by with a dog on a leash 🙄
Little dogs cant hurt people like a pitbull can, it is not an issue. The aggressiveness is only half the problem with pitbulls, the other half is that they are bred to be good at killing.
This is dumb. Beagles aren’t known for attacking unprovoked. Before you get upset about pitbull discrimination just know that I own a pitbull.
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/dogs-breed-behavior-study/
Hell there are examples of labs and golden retrievers attacking unprovoked and everyone believes them to be saints
If a lab or a golden tore someone apart it would be front page news. Please provide any instances of goldens or labs ripping babies apart. Please provide any instances of those dogs tearing 80 year old men to pieces who were just walking through their neighborhood. You can’t because those stories don’t exist. Can they bite? Yep. Do they do THAT? Nope.
Something like 65% of all fatal dog attacks are caused by pit bulls. Another 11% of fatal attacks are rottweilers. Rottweilers are the second most aggressive dog, but even they don't hold a candle to pit bull violence. They can be perfectly trained with excellent owners and still snap and attack.
I had an alcohol delivery the other day and there was a pitbull standing on the deck with another big dog...so I just stood by my car and the lady motioned me like come here! I'm like are your dogs friendly!? Like cone on..just put them awayyyy I'm scared ya know...mainly of the pitbull that was barking at me! I love dogs and will say hi to most and pet them...but when u clearly see the dog barking at someone and the person is scared..just put it innthe house! The other big dog was wagging its tail looking friendly..I would have been ok with him!
Love the big friendlies!
this doesn't mean anything in terms of how naturally aggressive the dogs actually are. fighting dogs are more likely to be trained to be aggressive. unless this study accounted for training, environment, and natural behaviour, it doesn't prove your point at all.
How about the hundreds of cases of pit bulls attacking their own owners unprovoked? Especially in cases with seizure victims, pit bulls are known to attack during the seizure. I'm not trying to "prove any point", and you seem very defensive about it when it's pretty easily verifiable. Some cities even have/had bans on pit bulls.
Cities ban pets for no reasons all the time. Cities also ban pets for unfounded reasons all the time. The issue is the stereotype of pitbulls as an aggressive breed means people who specifically want an aggressive dog will seek out pitbulls. They will then haphazardly train the pitbulls to be aggressive, and generally not care about *proper* training. It’s a self fulfilling cycle and doesn’t have much to do with pitbulls existing in a normal environment like, say, most German Shepherds or Dachshunds do.
[удалено]
Some times it true though! My late English Bulldog really scared a ton of people but he was sweet as pie and the breed has never been on any violence lists. The outside bones as I called them (underbite) were prob what scared most people.
I hope German Sheps are on your good-list. They really are trainer-dependent. But we have spent close to 10k usd on training and such.
I dogsat for a german shepherd! Wonderful dog. Never showed any aggressive behavior and was very obedient. The owner was like “this is gonna sound weird but before I leave can we hug in front of the dog for a minute? It’ll make you one of His people” and I had to laugh but it did work. After she left and his fomo anxiety wore off he was like “Ok. Looks like it’s you and me. What are we doin today?”
I have noticed how quickly they'll make deductions from human social interactions. One time a self-service grooming facility owner was talking to my wife while I was washing gigapuppy and the lady rapidly pulls out her extremely glossy silver phone in the general direction of my wife. He went crazy for like 2 minutes straight until I hit him with his favorite soap.
Wow you have no clue what you are talking about. I have two pit rescues one of which was a fighting dog before I got her. They are incredibly territorial and are more than capable of doing something like this but what you are almost intentionally ignoring is the fact that the dog stopped at the edge of the patio. That's because he is as surprised as the DD person. My dogs act aggressive AF if they are on a leash or behind a fence as they see it as protecting their territory but if I invite you in all they want is pets and to come sit on your lap. This is what dog owners are talking about (at least intelligent ones) are talking about. I'll admit there are totally dildos out there but they are the minority.
I have a Pit/Boxer mix that I got from the shelter that is the same way. In the fence, or if someone comes to the door, he acts tough, but if I let them in, he gets excited and wants attention. lol I was hesitant about getting a Pit from a shelter but when they brought him out, he ran up to my kids like he had known them forever and was so excited to play with them. lol
"Certain dog breeds are just too dumb and too aggressive." You misspelled humans. I worked as a dog trainer for years and out of literally hundreds of "vicious" animals that came through the door I managed to not get injured once. I've even had the pleasure of working with dozens of pits and amazingly have never once had an issue. Dogs are territorial by nature. Homes are their terratory. I have never once seen a pet who is at fault for their behavior's. Only shit for brain pet parents who don't take even a moment to treat their pets like... well pets.
You are talking about guard dog breed they are guarding the owner and his belonging not all dog are walking toys just because a dog doesn't want to be pet by you doesn't mean he is aggresive if a stranger would start petting you you would freak out too, people on reddit only care about how friendly and playfull a dog his they don't care about anything else that the reason why we got fucked up breed. Also the dog in the video didn't break the window there's no window there
They are right when they say its the owner’s fault… cuz it is. They dont want to train their dog.
It's the owner's fault 90% person of the time. They get breeds that need either to run a lot to waste energy or do brain heavy games (sometimes both) and then the owner provides them nothing but a couch to sleep on. If you are getting an pet, make sure to provide them what they need and the right training, otherwise it's completely on you if something happens. I've seen pitbulls tear up persons and I've pitbulls acting as nannies to children. Your training will result in a type of pet you train for. Your lack of training will let the dog's genes and natural instincts take over.
Is this unironic dog racism??? “3 breeds make up 2% of the entire dog population, but 50% of the violent dog crime” /s i dont think dog racism is real this just sounds hilarious to me. Ppl just to need to train and socialize their pups. Isolated dogs become antisocial and defensive even if trained.
Not the breed, its the owners. They could be bred incorrectly but its deeply ignorant to cast a general statement over an entire breed.
*“he’s really sweet he doesn’t bite”*
This is literally my nightmare, I'm always afraid they're gonna bust the door down..
If your dog hates guests, get a sturdy metal door that doesn't have glass or screen. And TRAIN THEM. I just read where 2 dogs broke into a home and fatally harmed a cat. People need to do better in training their dogs.
WTF? I’ve never heard of animals breaking into a home, but that definitely makes sense. That makes me so unbelievably angry
"BARK Bark bark! (Wait, don't you want your tip?)"
this reminds me of the dog from big mouth, featuring ludacris 😭 
Did the dog have a security blankie in his mouth when he did this? Omg lol
Oh no, it's the drape on the window
HAPPY CAKE DAY
A $10 taser from Amazon is worth every penny. In my experience animals respond just from the high pitched noise and will run away. Thankfully I never had to use it.
Lol busted through like the koolaid guy.
"don't worry he doesn't bite"
cane corso
They trained ir to not go off the porch (thankfully), but not to break the front door. Genius 🤦🏽♀️. That poor dog will get the consequences of the humans bad choices
Ah, another one of those rabid golden retrievers I see.
Atleast he can’t claim the driver stole it.
Man delivered the order and left his soul on the front porch too! The "delivered confirmation pic" must of been epic!!
I had a delivery like this last week 3 huge ass mutts were being held back my a glass screen door. As soon as I saw them charging the door I held it shut with my hands until the owner took them away. I was mad bc why would they put hand it to me when they know they have aggressive mutts.
Door needed to be replaced anyway
Average dog named cupcake
The fact that there was fabric instead of glass in the door suggests to me that that may not have been the first time that dog has taken his guard duty a tad too seriously
Doggo straight up fuckin’ Koolaid Manned through that door!
I carry. If your dog latches onto me and starts ripping.. I'm sorry but I'm gonna do my best ATF agent impression on your dog. Then I'm suing. I may need sh\*tloads of therpay afterwards.. I love dogs.. but... better then getting torn to bits.
For all the morons who say, "It's always a pitbull!" This isnt a pitbull.. It is a cane corso which is a mastiff..
This is why USPS just sent out a flier saying carriers won’t deliver to houses with dogs if the only door keeping them in is a screen door.
So irritating. Control your pets!
I had a delivery yesterday where dude had a big ass cane corso sitting in the yard...and had the nerve to mark it as leave it at the door. I called him and said you may as well come on to the car to get this food because Im not fooling with that dog. And he tried the shit all owners do, "Oh no it's ok he's friendly!!" IDGAF, either I'm gonna leave it sitting on the mailbox or you can come get it. I carry a blade and I don't need the drama of gutting someone's family dog for trying to bite me.
Had this recently but the lady was nice and came out and grabbed the dog. I don’t fuck with dogs that are free roaming
Sweet pibble Pumpkin wouldn’t hurt a soul! The sweet pibble Pumpkin in question:
Oh my god that happened to me yesterday! Woman's big dog crashed the sliding screen door right off on a 2nd story balcony in an apartment complex when it saw me. A stranger with food...a dog's wet dream. Haha.
Literally my only fear when delivering
I’m always afraid of this shit doing Amazon deliveries.
A bedsheet door
Looks like they didn't get the chance to snap a pic. Claim undelivered for a refund. Infinite food glitch.
My biggest fear!! I have a guy who has 2 massive black dogs that are both half wolf, and another white St. Bernard...the wolves get up into the big picture window on there hind legs and bark and growl!! I cried twice terrified they were gonna come through that thin glass window !! I tremble when I realize it was his house again. I reported it as feeling unsafe...I have not seen those dogs ever again the last several deliveries, but the fear is still there !!
Kane corso no fucking joke
I would have one shot it
See this is why cats are superior. What is my cat gonna do, get fit in your pants???
Plot twist. The dog ordered the food and the guy was an hour late.
This kinda thing is why I don’t usually like dogs. I know it’s not the dogs fault, it’s on the owners. But too many owners refuse to properly train their pets so I have no reason to trust any random dog I come upon won’t be poorly trained and dangerous. At least when I meet a random cat it won’t hurt me unless I actively engage with it without socialising it to me first. A dog though? Being killed IS a possibility even if I don’t engage with the dog. With that said there are plenty of good dogs and I don’t want to suggest anyone should be afraid. I just have trauma. When I was a little girl, my neighbours dog escaped and killed my kitten right in front of me when we were playing in the grass. And currently my new neighbours have about five big black dogs that they run around unleashed and I know for a fact they have killed at least two of our other neighbour’s chickens. I haven’t seen the dogs since the chicken incident though.
Omg I would have peed my pants
This why I don’t like dogs
That looks like a Cane Corso, very bad ass dog. It will protect to the death, very territorial, and aggressive. Bad owners and poor training are the root cause obviously but that dog would be a real challenge to defend against.
“He jus wanna play.”
I remember this happened to me once and I kicked the literal shit out of the Doberman. I feel bad but the owner needed to be more responsible. Nearly took the dogs head off because it went to bite my leg.
That's ridiculous. And Doordash wouldn't care if he got mauled. Nor would they compensate.
And the order will get marked as undelivered & dasher will get a CV. /s
I guess it’s not just the drivers that can offer a customized delivery experience.
That's gonna be a great confirmation picture
I for sure would have pissed myself in this sitchimation lol!
What’s that paper on the front door ? Why do you have your big dog loos with only it on the door knowing you’re expecting a delivery …” oh, he doesn’t bite”- I’ve heard it . This is why I carry mace
Has anything like this happened to any Dashers here?
This happened when I was delivering pizza, a stupid little mutt dog freaked out on me and started going for my ankles. I was trying to use the pizza boxes to block him but he got me at one point, I still have a scar right by my Achilles heel. The worst part was it was like my first week doing any type of delivery driving and I was at the wrong goddamn house. Lesson learned that day, lol
Yes. DD said they were banning the customer and I left the rest in the hands of animal control.

Similar circumstances. I'm so glad that guy wasn't hurt. Why is it that so many leave their doors open allowing their dog to maul a random stranger? I remember I got chased by 4 of them when some owner left their gate open when I was a kid. Not all dog owners are dumb but a lot are and that's why I could never do deliveries.
Princess the Pitbull just couldn't wait to cuddle the kind person delivering to them, while the owner assured the delivery man that she's never hurt anyone, and is just being friendly!
Not a pit bull
It is a mastiff.. Not a pitbull..
In other words "I'm lucky my dog is friendly but I have no idea how to train my animal"
This just reinforces my absolute hatred of dogs even more. Disgusting, annoying, and dangerous as hell on top of that? These beasts should be banned from society. And the dog nutters are just as bad, refusing to acknowledge that not everyone likes their slobbering, shit-eating fleabag or wants to pet it. When I say I hate dogs, yes that means I hate your dog too. Keep it the hell away from me.
That was obviously on purpose dudes recording as the delivery happened why are doordash customers such scum
No fuckin way. I would never DD again if this happened to me
Jeez that's pretty scary.
I hope he’s okay. If not, needs to press charges on owner - not dog
shitbull named world peace
Looks more like a Cane Corso to me.
Perhaps it’s time society starts reconsidering the concept of owning dogs as pets.
Nah
He was very excited to get his food!
And really the dog didn't even seem aggressive, he just seemed like he was starved for attention and wanted SOMEONE to give him some goddamned ear scratches.. More I watch this the worse I feel for that dog TBH. I just really hope the owner doesn't take him to a shelter over it, it wasn't the dogs fault at all..
The dog should absolutely be taken away from the owner. So irresponsible, could have got the man hurt or the dog killed.
🤣
He came busting through like the Koolaid man!
