Went shopping today & saw this muzzled dog opposite. Gave me a shock as I v rarely see muzzled dogs in my area & never ones that resemble XL Bullies. I know the pic is blurred,

A very popular dog in my area. I see XL Bullies being walked up and down the street virtually every morning. The scary scouse family across the way from me have one and hes always looking out the window, but I cant grumble cause hes in the house (i just dont let dc walk past that house but cross before they get to it)

Scary scouse family? What?😂

I appreciate the owner for muzzling it. Still I'm unhappy to see XL Bullies around. They are extremely strong & I am unconvinced the average owner could control them if they lost their temper, though the muzzle would hopefully protect people if they did get loose. I certainly don't think it should be legal to own one if you have kids. If you're an adult it's your own risk.

Personally I was disappointed nobody was intimidated by Fido's commanding stance in the photo ! 😂To me that sort of pic belongs on the cover of a thriller, whereas most people here aren't ruffled at all.. I guess the blurriness severely diminished the menace...

Personally I'm disappointed you think that photo was of a dog.
Personally I'm disappointed in the quality of this thread and in you doubling down.
Personally I'm disappointed you are continuing with this thread.

Guess we are both disappointed. To stop any further disappointment I'm going to hide this thread, I recommend you do the same.

Backtracking to say you were joking then backtracking on that to say you were serious is fucking wild. OP did a full 360

if it is an XL bully.... and it was muzzled... now what? how is it going to affect your day? and if its not and XL bully and its just a really fat shetland pony with a muzzle... because honestly, my eyes hurt now trying to brind the damn photo into focus... how is its going to affect your day?

but i will say, thanks for posting your very out of focus photo of what could be just about anything, because i've had a half hour of giggled at the replies

Oh come on...you guys don't want to admit that you were the ones fooled! This thread I perfect tho...it should be in Classics.

I find it does help if things people claim are jokes are actually funny, rather than piss-takingly stupid.

Lots of people can't control their dogs that aren't XL bullies...this one (if it is one... who knows at this point) is muzzled and on a lead...they are following the law. You really need to find a hobby if this concerns you.
