Dumbest quote in this article – and I’m no expert on pit bulls, having never owned one because I value my limbs and appendages too much, but I think that they’re not as gentle and peaceful as their owners tend to say:
"This puppy might have been trying to nurse on the toes of this baby," veterinarian Michael Dale speculated.
Which begs the question: Are animals smart (as their defenders and my mom believe), or mindblowingly retarded (as the “nursing on the toes of this baby” comment might suggest)? Cause, you know, you can’t have it both ways. Either they can reproduce the history’s great works of art or Edison’s myriad inventions, or they are dumb. (That was, of course, a blanket statement about animals that I don’t really believe, but I’m just trying to prove a point. Humans, after all, aren't either smart or not. There are shades of dumbness.)
Oh, and before you ask, “Where were the parents?” – they were sleeping nearby on a mattress on the living room floor. Hippies and pitbulls don’t mix!
