Dog Owner Says Bite Me


Man bites man in fight over dogs
By The Associated Press

NEW CITY, N.Y. — It wasn’t quite man-bites-dog, but there were men and there were dogs and there was biting.

A sheriff’s office said Monday that one man bit another during a fight over a couple of dogs at a park in suburban New York City.

Rockland County sheriff’s Capt. William Barbera says two dog owners got into it Sunday night. One didn’t like the way their pets were playing at a dog park in New City, about 30 miles north of New York.

Barbera says that a third man tried to break up the fight and that one of the combatants bit him on the wrist. He says that no one has been arrested but that the case is still being investigated.

You know what I think about pet worship in this country and this story is a perfect example of how things have gotten out of control. People baby their dogs too much and take them too seriously. They aren't really a member of your family no matter how much you love them. In fact, I'm not even sure if its acceptable to bite a person to defend a human, much less a dog. What makes it even worse is the guy who got bit was just trying to help. If I was the judge in this case I'd euthanize the fighting parties and their dogs and let the bystander have their belongings.
