What about Sookie?
Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, has (or had, I haven’t watched the show in years) a black pit bull named Sookie (that I am spelling phonetically) that accompanied him in his adventures. I recall one particular episode where Steve found some feral pigs and Sookie attacked them. Of course Sookie would as catching hogs is one of the things pits were bred to do (the other being fighting other dogs). Now, Australia (quickly turning into a bedwetting state) is looking to ban pit bulls:
Pit bull terriers are to be banned in Australia’s biggest states after a series of vicious dog attacks put people in hospital.
New South Wales premier Bob Carr on Tuesday branded the breed “killing machines on leashes” that should be exterminated.
The ban comes after a five-year-old boy was seriously injured by a pit bull when he was walking home from school in Sydney. A 75-year-old man is also recovering in hospital after being set upon by two pit bulls.
Carr said laws would be introduced later this year to ban the sale, acquisition, breeding or giving away of pit bull terriers, American pit bulls, Japanese tosas, Argentinian fighting dogs and Brazilian fighting dogs.
