I agree, many would not. Many would think disciplining their macho dogs
would take away its "aura", and the owner enjoys having a dangerous dog.
Perhaps
if these folks were on the receiving end of one of these attacks they would
not be so proud of their dog that cannot withstand a stare from a human being.
I certainly understand the unwritten code of dogs, that "Thou shalt not stare
at me", LOL, but... a cat can look at a king, and a person can look at a
dog!!...Surely we can train to ignore a judge who stares...We certainly don't
allow two dogs making mutual eye contact to attack each other. When my dog goes
for another dog because of eye contact, he gets a lesson in behavior he
never forgets, LOL. The next time, he looks away. Good dog.

real problem with Rotties.........
and there are always those morons who think it's "cool" to have a
tough dog that will attack with no obvious provocation. Same type of people
who think it's "cool" to use incorrect spellings..................on
purpose. For some reason, they think it makes them better or something.
Fact remains, maintaining eye contact with some of these dogs is a
risk.......and as we all know, not all dog people have brains or are even
reputable.
