MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.
Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any breed of dog.
There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

i hate whenever anyone talks to Mike Fry (in regards to the newspaper article). He's such a hypocrite - he runs a "no-kill" shelter that doesn't take animals in from the public - when he sends those people to the Animal Humane Society he then blames them for not doing more.
I used to volunteer for his shelter - i quit after he left a dog to die of cancer in it's kennel instead of euthanizing it because they were "no-kill". The dog had lived there for 8 years.
On the plus side - i'm so glad i voted for Franken
Yay Franken!
I *heart* Mike Fry - and even though I think the SD program he's promoting is a good idea - I'm *still* proud that I didn't vote for Al Franken.
