Nicki Breaux pets her foster dog Buster, a pit-bull mix, Monday at her home in Houma.
HOUMA — Nicki Breaux became a pit-bull owner by default when no rescue group had room for the now 1-year-old Buster Brown. The dog was found beaten and abandoned five months ago in someone’s yard, said his 28-year-old foster mom.
Breaux has been keeping tabs on a Terrebonne debate over a proposed law targeting pit bulls.
“I don’t think that a particular breed of dog is more vicious than another breed,” Breaux said. “It really has to do with training, socialization and the pet owner. … Any dog can bite, any dog can attack and, given the right situation, any dog can kill.”
Dealing with dangerous pit and pit mixes is a sensitive topic for owners like Breaux, but Terrebonne Parish lawmakers say something needs to be done to combat a rash of local pit-bull attacks.
The debate was rehashed at Monday’s Parish Council committee meetings, but no decision was made. Members plan to consider an alternative proposal from local animal-control officials that addresses vicious dogs, rather than a specific breed. That proposal is to be presented at the May 9 committee meetings.

did you hear about the shitzu that bit a canadian home depot greeter in the nose? took a good chunk of skin off the nose.
when i ride my bike through the park it's always the little yappers that chase me and snap at my feet.
Billy - I didn't hear about that.
Australian Shepherds and little dogs seem the worst to me.
The dog in the pic looks a lot like Bob.
