A Fort Walton Beach police officer radioed for help on Wednesday morning after a pit bull began chasing his patrol car down Bay Street. The large reddish animal was wearing a spiked collar.
An animal control officer responded and found the officer still in his car, waiting for help. "He looks big and scary but he's not big and scary at all," said Dee Thompson, director of animal control services.
The animal willingly went with the animal control officer, who contacted his owner. It was the dog's first encounter with PAWS.
Animal control officers said the dog was wiggly and happy, responding to baby talk and playing with a green frog chew toy while waiting to go home. His owner came to get the animal within hours, calling him "my baby." He works the night shift and hadn't realized the dog had gotten out.

I love the blokes, but pit bulls _can_ be a serious threat for infants. They shouldn't be able to follow cop cars around. Restricting the perimeter of the dog, if it has sufficient space _and care_ from its owner, does not restrict the development of the same.
