I Hit a Pit Bull with my car before it bit my kids! Now I'm in trouble!

If your kids ran on the left side of the road like they're supposed to, you wouldn't have to follow them.

Just because you people didn't hear about it on the news doesn't mean it didn't happen. I live in the town where the young lady was killed waiting on the corner to cross the street. The poster was obviously upset and made a mistake of venting to the wrong crowd.

Do you live in a town where a mother mowed down a crazed pit bull?

What are you trying to say?

It seems that you and the original poster both heard of this 14 year old getting hit. Either you are the same person or you live in the same town I guess so I would bet you should know about this putbull story.Pitbulls are hated and sell news so this would definitely be on the news.

I hit a dog once with my vehicle because it was bitting an old lady. The dog was actually dragging the old woman in the street. It was a pitt bull and the owner was trying to beat the dog off. The dog wouldn't stop and I was too scared to get out of the car. In my case the owner of the dog was upset it happened but thankful I could stop the dog. I wasn't on Night Line or anything but I was in the local papers.

If your question was directed at me, I was saying this troll made his attempt too obvious. He wasted his time typing all of that nonsense, as he gave himself away as a troll within the first couple of sentences.

Then I went on to explain how the430miler has taken trolling to a whole new level, and that inferior trolls like this one are suffering.

If the story is true and you see fit to comment, do so. If you think they are a troll then posting an unsavoury response is playing into their hands and you are the idiot.

If you believe it and you find the fact the parent was driving behind their sons offensive - get a life! Seem to remember one Peter Coe following his son in the car on some road efforts.

For those that could not follow the story or feel the need to correct typos and errors - you are as dumb as each other.

Anyhow, i doubt the poster will be back.

It was actually posted on another running forum. If the mother posts on letsrun I don't think it would take a rocket science to figure the story could have been on another running site. Exactly what I meant. Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Why was the owner beating it off? - the damn thing can blow itself.

You are smart! I was thinking the same thing. The poster was obviously upset after receiving the phone call from the lawyer and it set her off! It wasn't enough her and the kids experienced the event but to actually be sued for it.

That's a pretty funny respones except for the horror that was on the old lady's face. I still get bad dreams about it.

I seem to recall on one of the videos of the Kenyan runners a gentlemen coach following behind the runners and alongside of them in a vehicle.

I hate to own up to it after reading some of the posts but I follow my club kids on their long runs in a car.

It seems like the responsible thing to do. A lot of things can happen on the road.

I was bitten on a long run by an American Sharpei (sp?)

The dog had a serious attitude and I ended up needing 12 stiches. I was beating the crap out the dog trying to get it off me. People were standing around watching, scared out of their witts while I was getting mauled. After I got the dog off me people were actually asking me was I alright. I pretty much cursed everyone and asked why didn't they help.

It's a good thing the parent was following the kids. Next, you people would have been calling the parent an idiot for letting them run in the first place.

The kids weren't guranteed to receive any help and if you followed the story correctly the young punks thought it was funny. That boy could have very well been bitten if the parent had not smashed it.

Ban me if you must, but this can't be an adult with two kids. Please tell me it isn't. The whole 'following in the car' thing is just a perfect troll set-up to goad all the young 'uns here. Then there's the 13-year-old C-student typing:

First, four exclamation points?

'That'-who

'perspective'-respective

'long run of 4-6 miles'

'On yesterday evening'

Each son was running with a fanny pack, too.

Whatever you do don't pay the vet bill. It will cost the owners more to hire a lawyer and all that then it would to actually take you to court. Call their bluff and don't do anything.

Wait -- you're a woman??

I take back any previous advice. Just tell the cop you weren't trying to hit the dog. Being a woman, they'll understand how you managed to run over an animal without trying.

Another tell tale sign this is bogus is the amount of slack on the "Chain". Chains are like a maximum of 6 feet. And according to the post, the kids were past them already and comming back to the other side, there is no way there was enough slack to attack the kid, unless the guy let go of the chain.

Secondly, even if they had an extendible leash, they only go about 25 feet which would have been easily short enough to outrun before the "slack" was gone.

third, using your car to hit a dog thats basically on the child.... yea right.... you would have gotten out immediately, not think to use the car...

I say, good try, I commend the effort!
