I can fully try to understand and only imagine how horrifing, painful, traumatizing, and so on and so on as to how it would feel to be mauled by a dog; especialy one that happens to be a breed that has the physical power to “maul!” I won’t pretend that certain dogs are not scary. Howewver, at the same time that you may have had a life threatening encounter with a “vicious dog,” that “same” dog is my best friend; therapist to my invalid father; dog trainer to my dog fearul friends; and inspirator to my elderly neighbors. My Rottwieller/pit/shephard/ (who knows what mix she really is) was on death row when i rescued her. She was a wild girl… i called her “CRAZY LADY!!!” But she never once harmed anyone, she changed people’s lives through her love and unconditional selflessness and altruism. Please understand that all creatures, are only as much of a product of their enviroment as others allow them to be. Labeling, in general, is the launch of assumption, ignorance… discrimination. I hope you can find it in your heart to be open to all breeds, classes, colors, sexes, preferences, etc. No one, should be mauled by an animal, but the population that should be targeted within this real issue, is the irresponsible dog owners… especially the people who breed and perpetuate dog fighting.. That’s all for now, i have much more if anyone feels like responding!! I only wish the best for all :)
I AM ELIJAH’S STEPDAD AND FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW ELIJAH WAS JUST WALKING DOWN TO THE CORNER TO GRAB A CAB WITH HIS MOM, THE DOG GOT OUT FROM HIS LEASH AND JUMPED A FENCE AND ATTACKED ELIJAH FROM BEHIND …THEY NEVER SAW THE DOG COMING.THANK GOD ELIJAH IS RECOVERING,AND THANK GOD ONE OF THE MANY BILLS WILL BE SIGNED BY GOV. PATAKI …
First of all, I have to say that I am terribly sorry for what happened to Mr Munoz’s nephew. For anyone to be injured in ANY kind of attack, is horrible. This legislation however is not the answer. Responsible owners are. Puppymill breeders are. Elijah is absolutely innocent.
When a human attack’s or kills another, they are the one to be held responsible. It isn’t every other human. Dogs of ANY breed should not be penalized for the behavior of another dog. It does not make sense! All this bill will do is make law suits easier and pay a higher award.
I too used to be afraid of Rottweilers – then I met one and realized what loving, intelligent animals they are! I had to have one and now I have a two year old male that I raised from a puppy. He has been to obedience class and has been well socialized. I am a responsible dog owner and I would be devastated if I had to lose Baron because I could not afford the insurance. I can barely afford my car, life and home owners as it is. Please do not spread the pain.

Joanne, I found someone who has it. They are called Kalmanson Insurance and their phone is 407-645-5000. Ask for Tara.
Does anyone know of another agency besides Kalmanson’s which writes canine liability policies?
