What's the point of a having a dog if you just lock it up in a small cage?
Re-read the article. Vick was the one who died. Hakim was the one who commented.

I tend to agree with this. I think there was something wrong with the dog ownership aspect to this story. I can't think of any situation in which my Lab would attack me. It's basically a 90lb wolf that lives in my house who could wrap his jaws around my throat, but I get my face close to his without one bit of fear. Just the fact that they've said they've had dog bites before shows they don't have a handle on their animals. In what world do you own a pet and get bitten by them, and don't either a: get rid of the animal or B: train it until you're sure it won't happen again?
...and I know the guy was in his 60's but I can't think of any way I'd lose a fight with a boxer, unless my hands were tied behind my back. That dog would be dead.
