First of all, the description in the article says that they saw the dog being slammed against the window and bouncing out of the seat and the implication is that this was happening for some time before the dog bit the suspect. Neither of those fit your "bumpy road" or "accident" scenarios. On even a bumpy road, the jolting would not be nearly as severe, and in an accident, it would occur only once, not the multiple times implied in the article.Originally posted by: homestarmy

Furthermore, you have no idea how or if this dog was trained. The gentlest dog I ever met was a pit bull. A friend's family had adopted him as a puppy and trained him properly. A person who is fleeing from police is not at all likely to have a properly trained pit bull, it just doesn't fit.
You can't blame the dog.

Uh, that's not the way I hear it. At least, that's not the way it's understood. The owner may claim one thing, but in most of the cases signs of abuse are obvious.Originally posted by: homestarmy

The ones that maul people are always described the exact same way that you just described that dog.
HOW IRONIC!
