Like Barefoot, if I see something that looks like a pure bred "pit bull" entering Doggie Doo Run Run, I leave.
The pit bull that Tal is talking about at DDRR ran over to my ten-pound dog and pinned him to the ground. It happened on the opposite of the large dog park and I wasn't able to get there quickly. I was terrified. I had no idea if my dog would be dead by the time I got to him, but he wasn't injured.

As Tal said, the owner wasn't at all concerned about the situation. He laughingly explained the dog was "just playing".

I was absolutely furious. I'm sure that members complained to the owners because that was the last time I saw the dog.
