Pit Bull Jumped Into My Car With 4yr old in the Back!

[CrystalsMuse]

I strapped my 4 year old in his carseat in the backseat. (My mom calls me the carseat Nazi... Is it asking too much that it's strapped right in EVERY time?) 

I pulled down the LONG drive and parked in front of the mailbox. I got out, left the driver's door open and walked TWO steps to my mail box.

I was getting my mail when a huge brown pit bull jumped into the car through the open door.

My four year old and the dog stared at each other.

I went all Cesar Millan on that dog. Grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out. 

TSH! I said. He sat by my feet and a little girl ran over and thanked me for catching him. Apparently she was watching him for the day for a family member.

Then I got my mail, got back in the car and my four year old and I had a laugh. 

"That big brown dog was in the car!" He said.

"Yeah," I laughed "he probably smelled the popcorn you dropped on the floor and was hungry!"

My son wasn't scared because I wasn't scared. Well... I didn't act scared. 

Having a strange dog jump into your car is scary! 

But I have always thought, and still do, that the owner makes the dog. No matter what the breed, if you train your dog, discipline him, make sure they are getting enough exercise and socialization, they'll be a well behaved dog.

I still would have tackled the dog if it was a rabid, wild dingo, cause NO ONE TOUCHES MY BABY!

But he wasn't.

What would YOU have done!?

Well if the dog was behaving "Good" then I would just try to get the dog out. If the dog was mean though, I would have taken my flip flop off and had to handle it, LOL.

lol thats funny. he  probably thought the open door was a open invitation for a car ride. I would of probably done the same..got the dog out of my car, probably worry for a minute as to what he was going to do and then laugh about it later.

Well i have 2 pitbulls and they are both big babies! If they were to jump into my car i would be just fine with it due to the fact that they would kill my baby with KISSES!! As for another dog i guess it just depends on how the dog acts...

[mrsjedwards]

lol :)

Well, It's 1am here (let's hear it for night owls!). 

But it is a true story. Even though it happened yesterday and I'm just now getting around to writing this... Don't I love being a procrastinator.

It just caught me off guard cause dogs aren't allowed in our complex. (Even though I LOVE dogs and wish I could have one.)

His fur was soft. They must have just washed/dried him.

Actually, the dog could have been a female, now that I think about it...

I have owned many pit bulls and if one of them had jumped in your car it would be for one of two reasons lol Either they thought they were getting to go for a ride or they were gonna lick your kid to death. It's true the owner makes the dog

any unknown dog jumps im my car and i'd be scared and pissed (at whoever owns him/her) pit bull or not.
