Not the first time I've heard of dogs "attacking" the owner when having a fit. Maybe they are trying to get the owner to stop or something. Have seen a dog howling at someone and everyone was laughing as they'd never seen the dog howl. Few minutes later blokes on the floor shaking and pissed himself. Rip to the poor bloke, ashame our media will just use it to paint pitbulls in more bad light.

i bet theres more pitbulls in this country now then before then ban, just goes to show bans dont work and are just a waste of our tax money.

true that, any type of dog will attack when the owner shows its having probs. its the same when dogs are hurt and screaming , ive seen it lots of times the other dogs will attack it, its a pack thing any sign of weakness they will kill it

Apparently the lad was having a fit..., and the dog wasn't a banned breed. Tragic.

Of course nothing to do with the breed.

I used to have an 11 stone Presa that used to have fits and my Border Terrier who is an absolute wimp used to tear into him with a vengence while he was having one.

So not really always the dogs fault.

Yet i have seen incidents of dogs protecting owners who have had heart attacks, or collapsed... i think that the dog doesn't understand the actions of a person having a fit....or sees them as aggressive so attacks

there was case where a girl had her face chewed up by her pet lab, think she was either pissed/drugged up at the time.!! my young dog as soft as shit with people/dogs, but if they act strange (screaming ) if he goes to them he will stiffen up a bit, any dog reacts to the abnormal ( fits/ fear )
