Lennox Part 2

A Penny for My Thoughts

, (7/12 ) aroused myriad 'Comments' to the various online Patch sites. I certainly won't try to come up with a conclusion using said comments, but I would like to share what I learned from this conflict: 

~There were 31 responses at the time of this writing...7/16/12 /8:30am.
~ 14 responses showed favoritism toward the Pit Bull 

~ 6 responses showed either disdain or fear of Pit Bulls 
~ 11 responses were either non committal or on a different topic

  ~ Pit Bulls are NOT a breed per say, but a 'type' of canine. American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier can be considered Pit Bulls. 
  ~  It appears that Pit Bull types do well in family settings and are 'members' of groups that include children.
  ~ Apparently, Pit Bull types are less likely to "bite" than many of the 100 plus breeds.
  ~ Lennox was not genetically a Pit Bull type.
  ~ Lennox was considered a 'dangerous ' dog by Belfast officials.
  ~ The United Kingdom does NOT ban Pit Bull types. Regulations for these dogs are, however, quite stringent and include mandatory muzzling, spay/neutering, registration and so on.
  ~ Commenters have witnessed Pit Bull types aggressively doing harm to other dogs.
  ~It seems that  Pit Bulls who have correct handling and consequently healthy development from puppyhood on can be key to the adult dog's temperament.

UPDATE on Norma, lost dog in Newtown: Carolee Mason (Newtown's Animal Control Officer) is watchingRead More her from a distance at the moment, armed with catfood to tempt her closer. The foster mom is on her way there again, this time with chicken, and Laura is on her way with hamburger. Problem is, this dog is VERY shy, skittish and quick to run away.
