It’s sad that one of my favorite singers is getting all this press because some dog bit her. But, in reading people’s reactions to this, you’d think NESSA was the one who bit the dog, and not the other way around! Here’s the original story, in case you have no idea what I’m talking about.
So basically this family has a 9 month old pitbull that has been nothing but sweet to its family. Sounds normal. Vanessa was running in the street, past dog’s house. It ran after her and bit her. The owners have an invisible fence that didn’t work.
Now, because Vanessa filed a complaint that could lead to the dog being put down, she is being labeled a murderer by the family’s owners. Say what?
PA law is what led this case down the road it’s traveled, not Vanessa. She didn’t go to the police and demand the dog be put down. If the owners had a real fence, this wouldn’t be an issue.
It also seems like they think that because she wasn’t seriously injured (only 5 puncture marks and a moderate amount of blood), she shouldn’t have said anything. Again, say what? Just because she isn’t fighting for her life doesn’t make what that dog did ok!
I run in my neighborhood all the time! I wish some dog would bite me! I’d file a complaint too! And this isn’t just about bad-mouthing pit bulls. All dogs need attention and to be trained. Pit bulls just always have a bad rep and I’m sure this doesn’t help. My mom was bit by a dog when she was little, and to this day, she goes out of her way to avoid dogs. She’s almost 60 years old!
Now, I don’t want this dog to be put down. Neither does Vanessa, who shared on Facebook that she wishes The Dog Whisperer could help. What do the owners expect her to do? She’s stated that she doesn’t want the dog put down. What do they want her to do? Plead that the law shouldn’t be applicable? Lie, and change her story?
I’m sorry. I just don’t see how this is her fault and how she’s “doing nothing to help”. What the eff is she supposed to do? The dog bit HER!
Control your damn dog and the entire situation would have been avoided! Take care of yo bidness.
Now let’s all hope there is a pleasant ending to this situation and that the dog gets to live.
