‘Wonderful’ pit bull attacks Pittsburgh Steelers star’s son
We don’t because we, at least, are not in denial. We are well aware that virtually any pit bull can be a dangerous dog, and we wonder why people buy such potential killers when they could have, instead, a sweet little mutt. |
Often the key to fixing a problem is to overcome denial. That’s why AA members confront their demons and proclaim themselves alcoholics, rather than pretending they’re just social drinkers.

Dick is a gleefully offensive performer who’s known for pushing envelopes of witless vulgarity and mindless tawdriness while making a complete nuisance of himself. So he probably thought bringing a belligerent pit bull to a hotel where guests were trying to relax and enjoy themselves would be most amusing. |
