Man charged after own dog attacks him

A Sudbury, Ontario, man who was attacked by his own pit bull faces three charges after police say he urged the dog to attack a neighbour.

Greater Sudbury Police say a witness saw the suspect walking his dog on Monday night when the man stopped to urinate in a yard. That led to an argument with a neighbouring homeowner.

Police say the suspect began hitting his dog so it would attack the neighbour but the pit bull instead turned on its owner, biting his face and arm until a witness pulled the dog away.

The dog owner then punched the homeowner in the face and fled. He returned with another man and attacked the homeowner with a dog chain. The 25-year-old dog owner is charged with assault, assault with a weapon and breach of possession.

Sounds like the dog and the owner need to be put down. Yes, I realize it was the owner that trained the dog to be vicious.

This happened in Canada? Home of the world's most courteous people? Must be an immigrant from the US.

There are jerks in Canada, too. They must be the ones who keep voting for Harper, because nobody I know even likes the guy.

We're not so much courteous as complacent. But at least karma helped take care of this particular jerk (because the justice system sure won't).
