Brown Ears Spotted Male Pit Bull

White with dark spots and solid brown ears male American Pit Bull Terrier, possible mix. This dog's weird pose most likely came from his choking himself out on the slip lead, meaning he pulled against the noose so hard that he probably almost lost conciousness thus his dazed expression, red eyes and sideways tilted sprawl. Though fighting the slip lead this hard can be common in dogs, the handler really needs to know when to let the dog loose and try a different method as losing conconciousness through strangulation is harmful to the dog mentally and physically, though some trainers like Cesar Millan advocate such use. If this dog was truly difficult to handle, a catchpole with its locking noose would've been a more humane choice to transport the dog. I understand that the city pound is a busy place but better handling will result in less trauma for the dogs and the handler.

The Owner has three working days to claim the dog or will be euthanized due to breed as this city facility does not adopt out to the public. Stop the pit bull overpopulation, stop the breed specific killing in Harris County Animal Control. Complaints about breed policy should be lodged at countypets.com .
