Adopted dog saves owner's life.
« on: March 25, 2014, 02:37:37 PM »




All hail Clobberhead, the gas-smelling superdog.

Shelbyville, Ind., resident Erin Cramer has her family's newly adopted greyhound, named Clobberhead, to thank for saving her from a potentially explosive situation.

Cramer, who picked Clobberhead up from a rescue group a few months ago, said he started acting strangely one day when she stayed home sick from work.

He started banging his head against a wall, and when she took him outside for some air, he dragged her back inside.

It wasn't until the dog successfully convinced Cramer to open the door to her laundry room that the danger finally hit home. It turns out there was a natural gas leak coming from the apartment's laundry room.

"This wall of gas just came pouring out," Cramer told Fox59. Even scarier, her water heater had sprung a gas leak and, even more alarming, it was sparking.

Cramer said that experts told her that the sparks would have likely ignited the gas fumes and "taken out not only this house but several around me."

"If it wasn't for him (Clobberhead) coming into our lives, we probably wouldn't be here right now," Cramer said.

Not a chance.  They can sustain their speed for extended periods of time.

Not a chance. If given the command a gamebred pitbull will chase that Saluki down till its last breath. A gamebred pit has no quit in it. The saluki will gas and belly up.

Your greyhound is a magnificent creature but it doesn't have the gameness of a pitbull. Thats what separates the pit from other breeds.

Pitbull wouldn`t last at all.  It is limited physically with inferior lungs and body, lack of red blood cell count, muscles needed for speed compared to any sighthound.  It would just give up once it lost the sighthound on the horizon, which would be in a matter of seconds to minutes.  In three strides they are already at full speed.  Pitbulls are useless in this area.  I like them, but they are definitely not in the same league when it comes to speed and endurance, agility or eyesight for that matter.

A gamebred pitbull can literally fight for HOURS - this has been on record - while being severely wounded. Your greyhound doesn't have that type of endurance or heart. The fastest sighthounds will have poor endurance. The slower sighthounds will have better endurance. Either way, it is a weakness which the gamebred pitbull can exploit and conquer.

Impossible.  They don`t have the Red Blood Cell Count or the same type of muscles for endurance.  Greyhounds are Lance Armstrong, Pitbulls are Butterbeans.

So you're saying Greyhounds are PED dependent.

No, they are born that way and not like any other dog
