He doesn't deserve to have dogs if he's THAT irresponsible with them!!!

I’m a Mail Carrier that was bit by a Pitbull last Jun, I had to have 37 stitches and was off work for 2 months. Any dog can bite, but Pit bulls can kill. If you’re bold enough to have an aggressive breed, you better at least be responsible enough to make sure they’re under your Renters/Homeowners insurance.

The tears for dinner was ridiculous

The town put an order on him to leash his dogs at all times and make them wear muzzles…and he considered that to be SO challenging and impossible, that he had to get rid of the dogs. CLEARLY this guy was a bad owner, and I absolutely believe he had these dogs running wild. The demand put on him by the town wasn’t even exaggerated: it was just what a responsible dog owner is supposed to be doing. It’s his fault the dogs are gone, not the plaintiffs.

That defendant should never be allowed to have another pet.

Judge Judy absolutely wrecks shitbull owners

Dog owners like this really annoy me. People really expect you to do nothing when I dog comes barking towards them. I would’ve screamed and ran had them dogs come my way.

He deserved to have the dogs taken away, if he's going to put them and others in danger.

I have absolutely NO SYMPATHY for the defendant!!!

So instead of taking the precautions imposed by the city, this "loving" dog owner decided to give up the dogs instead?!? That says a lot about the Defendant.

I am tired of the argument that this is about how the dog is raised. The majority of cases ARE pitt bull attacks. There is a dedicated website that tracks pitt bull attacks. Genetics are a piece of the puzzle and people who choose to own and raise pitt bulls need to be accountable to a higher standard.

Lots of people says Pitbulls are sweet and friendly- yeah, to you and your family!! Most dog attacks are by Pitbull/breed.

The tears 😂 I can’t 😂

Very rarely do I disagree with the judge 👩‍⚖️!!! But in this particular case, plaintiff should have received the $5000. No question. Dog not on a leash ,he got bit. Stitches , that’s it

Defendant keep making excuses for his dogs but it's ALL his fault for this!! He needed a yelling from JM. But as a landlord myself, he should just not rent to tenants with aggressive dog breeds.

It's always the same question ... " Do you think pitbulls are more vicious than other breeds " .... I don't know, there seems to be a number of different breeds both large and tiny that can be very vicious, it's kind of irrelevant. A pitbull, however can rip your face off while other breeds can't. It's not that cut and dried but there is a reason why insurance companies don't want to deal with pitbulls and no one can deny that.

The defendants attitude was horrible! No remorse at all & to blame the plaintiff for it…shameful & this is why kids seeing this behavior have a greater chance being the same way as adults 💔

If the defendant would of just paid up and took responsibility in the first place, he would have paid less - now he has to pay pain and suffering. He seemed so nonchalant and passive too - I hope the dogs are in better care.

the kids are breathing a sigh of relief. The next person that could have been bitten might have been those kids. (Kids run around and scream....that will set aggressive dogs off)

What a sad excuse for a dog owner, not only did he not put any time or effort into properly training these dogs he took absolutely no responsibility for what happened to that man. The plaintiff was lucky his injuries could've been much worse, or god forbid if his daughter or another small child had been attacked. It could've been a horrible tragedy. The defendant showed no remorse either, if he can't even properly care for two dogs and keep them under his control I can only imagine how he must be as a parent. Sad.

The judge was a bit stingy, why didn't she just award him the full $5000, since his pain and suffering were quite apparent. AND it might make people with dogs think twice about letting them roam about freely, without a leash...

What the heck was he crying for? 😂

Why do the most irresponsible dog owners ALWAYS have pit bulls?

I’m happy the plaintiff won but for some reason, the tears didn’t seem genuine to me

The defendant just seems like a defeated man

look at the swelling on the back of the hand! THAT's the part that hurts...

The idea that the way a dog was raised dictates the way they will act is a fallacy. Certain breeds have a history of violent acts. It's been bred into them. No matter how they are raised, that capacity is right below the surface. Any dog can bite, but it's the amount of damage and savagery that certain breeds can inflict seperates them from other dogs. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, Canne Corso and a number of other breeds are often banned in cities because of this. Many homeowner's insurance companies will not insure you if you have any of these breeds.

Good morning y'all!

Those look like puncture/bite wounds to me!!!

One day, I'm going to start a metal band named Vicious Propensities. There's nothing under that name in Discogs.

Ya so instead of fixing the dog issue he just rehomes them so it can happen again.

Plaintiff resembles the Judge's husband.

Pit Bull aggressiveness, it's in their DNA.

It's not how the dog is raised, a friend of mine was a trainer, she had a 2 chows and one day the female chow started growling at her in the hall way of her home and sporadically attacked her, yet she had her for a couple years by then and was very loving towards her. it was shocking she ended up putting her down. It wasn't a disease they dont know why the chow attacked her but she thinks it was alpha female trying to assert her dominance over her and take over the pride so to speak. Chows were bred to fight.

"I should cross my pitbulls with something, to make them less aggressive. I know. Rotties will do the trick."

I glad these dogs are not in the defendant home any longer and hopefully they have a responsible owner now that will let them be their best selves and not put them in bad situations again. Glad these plaintiff got money for pain and suffering because that was clearly a dog bite

I have 5 Argentine Dogos that live next to me. They have attacked and bitten me and my husband. We had to replace our 5 ft fence with an 8 ft one to protect ourselves. They continue to attack the fence anytime I’m in the backyard. Next step is a lawsuit

Wth is the Plaintiff crying for? Best performance for Plaintiff in a dog case and the award goes to...lmbo

He's precious. Protect him at all cost lol (& I am a dog owner/lover/advocate but I understand having a fear of loose dogs completely)

This case made me cry when he brought up his daughter 😢

Never tell a pit bull to "talk to the hand". Lesson learned.

The plantiff looks like a soap opera actor...and looks like this 😢 emoji when he started to tear up 😅😊😂.

He’s clearly a crappy owner.

if the plaintiff already knew about these dogs then why didnt he arm himself with some type of protection like pepper spray or a knife or even a gun if he was in a state where he can carry one legally more easily.

100% of pit bull owners agree...Pit bulls are not vicious! 🤔

Harvey did not buy that mans tears lol

When the Plantiff started crying.....AND SCENE

Totally on the Plaintiffs side here - but at the end when he started getting emotion about being a single dad, and having to take his daughter out for dinner or whatever...couldnt help but roll my eyes. And then he tries to throw in some lawn mowing he got done once? lol...its like, dude - you are in the right, but are still pushing it. Also the Defendant should never own another dog EVER again. Clearly a terribly lazy and irresponsible dog owner, who does not really care about the dogs he owns.

Defendant walked in looking dapper

Good judgement

Its cheaper not to have dogs at all.. 😂😂

'... maybe you should get more friendly dogs' ... dead 😂

Plaintiff is so dramatic with the “I can’t cook story”

Theses people are just fools. Pit bulls are absolutely more prone to attacking regardless of how their owner raises them. They may be just fine with the family and people they know but strangers and other animals they will go after and cause more damage then most other dogs

In March I was attacked by a 100 pound cane corso. He turned on me. He showed no signs that he was going to attack me. I got bit on my palm, forearm, my shin back of my thigh. My other hand I had cuts and a fracture pinky leading to surgery. I won’t ever be able to bend it again. My pants were ripped up. Work comp didn’t want to pay for my pinky surgery so now I’m out 4k. I have scars all over my body. I couldn’t even use the bathroom by my self since both hands were hurt and the back of my thigh I couldn’t raise myself up. 😢 😢

If, the defendant truly cared for his dogs he would make sure they couldn't get out and hurt someone or get hit by a car. If your dogs are barking at someone you can't expect people to stand there be quiet and risk getting attacked. Glad the Plaintiff' won.

RotiPits = Vicious dog potential!!! If you are going to have dogs like that then you have to keep them leashed. The defendant is an irresponsible dog owner. The people Harvey interviewed know little about this breed of dog. They are inherently prone to be vicious regardless of how they are raised. One wrong move can set them off.

i'm going to dress like the defendant next time I go to court. Shirt tucked in the front for court when I come in, and hanging out the back for the streets when I walk out. Gangsta😎

The tearworks when it came down to his daughter 😅😂

Lmao somebody give him an Oscar the crying was a bit much

I am so tired of society being duped into thinking "it is all how you raise the dog." While environment can have an impact on behavior, the vast majority of dog behavior is genetic. Border collies herd, Retrievers will retrieve, Pointers point, etc. You don't see any sheep farmers out there with chihuahuas herding the sheep and not because the chihuahua is small, but because it sucks at herding. You don't see Fila brasileiros as therapy dogs in the hospital because they would end up attacking, harming and potentially killing people due to their nature. The pitbull was bred for human entertainment--- blood sports. They were literally bred to attack other living creatures for the sick entertainment of humans. That is it. That was their purpose. They are NOT "nanny dogs", have never been and never will be nanny dogs. You can train a dog from a young puppy, doing all the right things and still have that dog's genetic tendencies come to the surface. You can't completely train the herding instinct out of a herding dog, the same holds true for other breeds. You might be able to minimize some of those behaviors but you can't remove instinct and genetics.

Harvey asks the same question when it's a pit bull case

One minor bite will not get your dogs taken from you or make you get rid of them. He did not want the hassle of dogs with an official bite history. If he had just paid the medical bills he would have paid less than the judgement. That is an OBVIOUS bite on the back of the hand. NO. No. NO money for food, cleaning, and lawncare. That is absurd. That stated, good Judgement.

Pit bull owners should act more responsibly, pitbulls are an aggressive breed and owners need to be super vigilant at all times.

The defendant is one big walking & talking EXCUSE!!! He didn't deserve those dogs!

When you fall near a dog, the dog can be triggered into a prey response and attack. It eh dog is a pit bull it can attack with intent to kill. Bites from larger dogs can look like stab wounds in addition to punctures.

OMG. A PITBULL???? Noooooo wayyyyyyyyuyyy

The fact of how the dependant is dressed for court tells you everything you need to know about his character. Laxildaysical.

How pitbulls behave is a direct reflection of their caregivers. That said, I could totally cook/clean with my left hand if needed, come on man 🙄

Seems to be a status symbol to own a pit bull. I guess it's like owning a Harley, there's no logical reason other than that.

First id like to say that they do not stitch dog puncture wounds..period

Should of gone to judge Judy. He would of gotten the 5k maybe more

FYI, no one pays anything to anyone on this show. The show pays them, so there is never any real punishment.

I ashamed of myself laughing when the plantiff started to cry 😂😅😄😆🤣😭🥴

The most irresponsible and lax folks who seem like they struggle to take care of themselves always have dogs....its soooo unnecessary

If your pit mixes run after me "barking" I will gift them with metal projectiles. Pt bull dogs ARE purpose bred to be aggressive to the point of killing. If the renter has no resources to sue for the property owner can be sued.

I would have given him $5000

They're all the same. Every single time...same dogs...same type of owner. My friend has a pit and it's a danger to be around. She thinks her dog is wonderful but the lady's dog that it attacked (for no reason) probably doesn't think that.

Plaintiff seems like a shmuck but that still doesn’t excuse the defendant not ensuring his dogs didn’t get out

Ok so wait…. If the guy doesn’t pay the 3,000 dollars what happens? Or does the court pay it? I heard somewhere that the people that do this show pays.

Only dogs I've ever been bitten by were collies and poodles

5 thousand plus pain and suffering. defendant was delusional.

People who say pitbulls arent more aggressive are absolutely mindless

Negligent owner.....this is the problem with the breed.....everyone loves getting pitbulls and other hunter breeds and they have nooooo idea what they are doing smh.....its not the breed its the owners smh

The defendant is that typical type of guy with attitude. The type that says ": my kids never do wrong, I never do wrong , my dogs a sweat and never agressive. " . Sick of dog owners with big, agressive, dangerous dogs and big atittude. Never responsible, always excuses. If pitts are not dangerous or aggressive why do they kill chilfren, babies ?

Was that Superstar Billy Graham sitting in the audience behind plaintiff?

Sigh A Single Mom first of all would of stood still when dogs rush at you & could handle making dinner with a big boo boo

BAN PITBULLS! SORRY NOT SORRY! LOVE ALL DOGS! It's NOT just about irresponsible owners... they are too big and aggressive! Typically, the ONLY dog i hear about on judge shows! Get rid of them...

Awwwe the plaintiff is so sweet 🥹 ♥️. The defendant is negligent and careless. He have vicious dogs that he don’t properly take care of and trying to blame why his dogs were confiscated.

The plaintiffs sad story was so crappy i could tell he was lying to get more money!

Pitbulls aren’t anymore aggressive then any other unsocialized dogs with irresponsible owner’s unfortunately those are the majority of people that own them

Just keep the dogs on a leash!!

History of not leashing his dogs and he knew they would run away to confront someone. Plaintiff should have gotten 5k! Minimum 4k

The comments tell me some people should only own goldfish, plants, or pet rocks.

It is a fact that small-breed dogs actually are more aggressive and tend to bite more often than large breeds. The issue is that large breeds due to their size can inflict more damage. I have large aggressive dogs Bull massive and two Sharpei (No pits though) and I also have two small dogs which are beagle and chihuahua mix. The small dogs are the ones that are more aggressive and I know they would bite.

If I own a property that I have to go to and have had problems with aggressive dogs in the past, I don't go back to that property without protection of some sort. Read into it what you want. It is MY property and I should NOT have to be afraid to visit my own property. If the dogs have to be put down so be it. If the local policing authority can't or won't help, I am more than willing and capable of protecting myself. I have and will most likely do it again. I can't stand someone who is not willing to control a pet! Dogs, cats, livestock or whatever. It is YOUR DUTY to control your animals! If you can't or won't, I will help you when they are on my property.

That dog owner is totally delusional if he didn't think that was a dog bite!

Should have gotten the 5000

Inbreeding always tells.

So, all the other breeds just don't have as many "bad owners?" GMAFB.
