If the former, the owner needs to be beat with a bag of Texas grapefruit within an inch of his remaining, pathetic life until he can’t move ANYTHING………PERMANENTLY!

There's no evidence that he sicced the dog on it and in fact he was whistling for it to come back.

You got good and lathered up for nothing.

^^^^^
Then WHY was the dog outta the car in the first damned place?? HOW did the dog get outta the car? Opened the door with its paw? Inquiring minds want to know. Checking lather on stand by with bag of grapefruit at the ready………

Probably one of those idiots who leave their windows open for the dog to stick its head out of. Had one dog in a car like that come after my dog a number of years back. Jumped out the window and came running over, growling the whole way.

I have always heard that pitbulls dont back down, let go, or give up. Evidently not an absolute.

As an old Texas rancher and Korean war combat veteran I knew was fond of saying, "didn't take you long to look at that." That occurs to me when I wonder about the disappearance of the pitbull in question. His confidence may have taken a hit. He may actually hesitate next time before charging off.

Not sure if the dog noticed, but if he had not left the immediate area post haste, the bison was lining up to headbutt his ass again, probably up to the road. He broke off when he saw the dog in unabashed, tucked tail retreat.

I was told a story once about an incident involving a livestock hauler and a state port-of-entry. I’m sorry that I don’t recall what state it took place in. A livestock truck stopped at a port-of-entry and presented his paperwork. He was hauling a load of bison and the state officer noted that they had been in the trailer for more than 20 hours.

State: You’re going to have to unload those animals.

Trucker: You understand those are bison, not cattle, right?

State: They HAVE to be unloaded, they’ve already been on the truck too long and they need water.

Trucker: I’m not unloading them. Your facilities aren’t sufficient to handle bison.

State: You’re not leaving here until they’ve been unloaded and watered.

Trucker: Is the state of ? taking responsibility for the safety and well being of the animals?

State: That’s exactly what I’m doing.

Trucker: Show me where to unload.

Driver backs up to a chute. Throws the gate of the trailer open. Watches as the bison hit the fence of the pen, blow through it like it was police line tape. Hits, and blows right through, the perimeter fence of the port, and are last seen making for the next county.

Nevermind you're right, commence with the beating to a vegetative state...

If that were so, the parks would have about 60% fewer visitors.

As an LEO ... my saying was, " ... if not for stupid, I would of been unemployed.". Thus, I saw stupid people as a commodity, a good thing, at least as an LEO.

There was the Neff farm outside of Harrisonburg, VA that had a nice herd. You could see them from the I81.

I'm not a bison, but I did have a pitbull chase me. Had no idea he was chasing me until I quickly stopped my mountain bike. He hit the back tire head on at speed, and had about the same reaction as the pit bull above. It was actually quite comical. In retrospect, anyway.

What did the lady say to her kid when a buffalo threw her thirty feet in to the air?

Bi-son...

They were an on the hoof commissary for the American Indian.

While living in the Delta Junction, Alaska area in the middle 1970's we had one of the 4 recognized free roaming buffalo herds in the world.. Government
protected.. Hunting allowed by permit only drawing by Alaska state officials / hunter would be accompained by a state game warden and HE (game warden) told you which animal that you were allowed to harvest.. and heaven forbid you shot the wrong animal.......Trust me when i say that they went anywhere they wanted anytime they wanted... And the locals knew better than to get in their way to impede their travel in any way. Witnessed a 70"s full size Chevy 4x4 Blazer about 100 years ahead of me do a broadside strike on a large female cow buffalo that totaled out the Blazer but it was my Ruger .357 Blackhawk (head shot) due to the animal was alive / laying in a active state highway thrashing around / compound fracture on 3 seperate legs.. Called military police at Ft. Greely inside post boundries / called Alaska State Police (state hwy) / Also called the Alaska State Game Warden for our area who made me stay on scene and help him field dress the animal with a small camp axe to cut thru the major bones.. The meat was distributed by the Game Warden to several families in the immedate area..... I was covered with blood splatter and when got home walked thru the front door hunched over moaning and groaning which caused the wife to freek out till i explained what had happened then i had to run from her swinging the black iron skillet.. .......................... drill sgt

I rode a motorcycle to Yellowstone circa 1985-86 and encountered a small group of ~6-8 bison grazing right at the edge of the road. If they were aware of my presence, they didn't show it. I was able to get past them, despite the engine sound and always-on headlight, without incident.

Bison are amazon animals. Seeing them in real life is something special. When I was in Yellowstone I found myself just hoping a bison would do bison things when some idiot got close for a picture.

There is no way I would be anywhere near those animals with a dog that wasn't on a lease. That bison casually kicked that dog's ass and continued on as if it was nothing.

I spent a week outside of Yellowstone. On one of the guided tours, the van was stopped in a line of cars. Both directions were stopped as a bear and two cubs were crossing the road.

Next thing you know, some woman was walking down the road towards the bears. But that's not the sad fact; a child was running behind her loose and catching up. Our driver was yelling at her along with other people. Like this woman has never heard about how dangerous bears are especially with cubs? And that she would let her child run loose near???

Jeezus kryste riChard!

I did a motorcycle trip out to Mt. Rushmore years back. on the trip I spent quite a bit of time going through Custer State Park. The park maintains a free roaming herd of about 1400 of those hairy bastards.

Want to feel the ultimate in insignificance and vulnerability at the same time? Slowly drive a street motorcycle along a narrow 2-lane road about 3-5 mph, parting a few hundred of these things on and on either side of the road, having 6-8 of them within 10’ of you the entire time for about a half mile. I promise you it it will be the L O N G E S T 8 minutes of your life.

Close to 500,000 miles on street bikes before hanging up the helmet in 2018. Had my share of crashes along the way but the absolute scariest times were the occasional Moose (a riding buddy of mine got charged by one in Alaska, stomping his bike and breaking his neck. Had to be airlifted to Seattle) and fucking Bison.

.

The video looks like it's from Custer.

Yeah, it was a little... Uuhhh... "Interesting" on a motorcycle riding through the herd.

Massive, tough animals!
Not to be messed with at all!
