Let’s also acknowledge that these positions were on the chopping block not long ago at the direction of the chief. Community members, not anyone else stepped up and advocated the council for a solution, and that advocacy made ALL the difference, and is why they are there today, and not out of a job. Public safety is a shared responsibility and so is protecting the services that support it.

You forgot spay and neuter!

Well.....dogs are a lot better judge of character, so......

My dogs chase kids too but kids usually egg them on. Just because it’s a Pitt bull doesn’t mean he’s trying to eat them

Possibly my neighbors dog. I will check when I get home. I know one of their dogs for sure has been getting out the last couple of days. And we live a few blocks away from Garfield Elementary.

Dogs are a reflection of their owners

He may have human kids at home trying to play or dumped and trying to get help or just being a dog. I hope he has owners he is cute.

I remember walking down garfield to walk to school EVERYDAY i would get chased by the dogs there😂😂😂👎🏼👎🏼

I just can't believe the ignorance of people... blows me away! So sad that people don't take the time to look at a dog and just see the love of a dog... dogs are the single most loving, kind, innocent creatures in this planet, no matter what breed they are they just want to love you and be loved. They don't judge you and they are always happy to see you... you love a dog is going to be loving. You teach a dog hate it's going to be hateful. Idc if it's a poodle, chiwawawa or a pitbull I'm done goodnight. I pray for you little doggie. I hope you are loved 😍 🥰 ❤️ and I pray for the hate to leave all your hearts and for your eyes to open and I challenge you all to go meet a pitbull. Go to the pound and volunteer to walk one and play with one. You will quickly change your mind.

I make free dog tags. Is this dog fixed? We can help with that + microchipping, as well.

Probably so lonely trying to connect with the children...but all dogs are different, and an agreed possible risk....

I checked with a dog owner I know in the area, not theirs.

Needs a farm to roam

Maybe playing. Jeez I live in the area and haven't seen but if I do I'll let my rescue friend know before u. Some dogs do that unless the dog bit someone

I’m sorry this happened. Hopefully the owner will do a better job of keeping track of their dog. Please teach your children to not run from a dog. It engages their play side, or it can engage their primal instinct to chase prey

Poor baby

Sad, the dog is beautiful..people have such a fear of pitbulls. My niece had one that was a gentle giant...afraid of noises,plastic bags and separation anxiety. The breed isn't dangerous..owners are. If they aren't socialized from early age it causes problems..same can be said for other breeds. Pitbulls are strong..but the main problem with any breed is the owners .

There kids who teases them and think it's funny then they cry Wolf when the dogs get tired of getting picked on and teased or getting rocks or whatever throwing at them provoking the animal to attack there are kids like that and that's the parent's fault for not teaching their kids any better so it's not all the dogs fault too

Thank you for getting him picked up. A bad experience with a dog can make a child scared for life.

Why is it a safety risk?

Lock the kids up. Im sure there not innocent in this. I see them taunting dogs all the time walking home from school.

He looks sweet. He was probably trying to play.

Sharing in pet groups.

Is there any more pictures of this Dog

The dog just probably was trying to get some attention since it's ridiculous

Is it a female??

Put it down!
