Heh, pitbulls. I was at the crowded dog park one weekend and this family showed up with a muzzled pitbull. The first thing it did was attack my dog. Even with the muzzle on it was able to nip my dog in the ass a few times before it got pulled off.

But that's not about the pitbull. It's about the asshole who brought his pre-muzzled dog to a dog park knowing it was vicious.

In my opinion, muzzling a dog you know is vicious before bringing them to the part is exactly what makes you a non-asshole. I don't understand why you're using "pre-muzzled" as a point against the owner.

Because if you know you have to restrain your dog like Hannibal Lecter going on a prisoner transport, don't bring him to a park with other dogs and little kids in the first place.

Especially if he can still nip though the mask.

The "nipping through the mask" part and "Hannibal Lecter" rhetoric aside, if you have a good muzzle, why not bring the dog to the park? That's why you muzzle dogs, so they can take walks in the part without biting.
