Why are people prejudiced against pit bulls? They are such sweet puppies.

Just after 9:30 a.m., officers received a call from a “frantic” male caller saying he had been attacked and nearly bitten by large, aggressive pit bulls on the 600 block of Woodside Way, just a few blocks from San Mateo High School, police said.

As officers were en route, three more people called to report the dogs were chasing people, including a city sanitation worker, around the neighborhood. The first officer on the scene saw the dogs — both between 55 and 70 pounds, according to police — and followed them until they ran into a yard and attacked a landscaper, who was forced to defend himself with a leaf blower he was using as the dogs repeatedly bit at the device, police said.

Fearing for the landscaper, the officer used an air horn to divert the dogs’ attention; they then began biting and clawing at the driver’s side door of his patrol vehicle. After abandoning the vehicle, the dogs ran south toward the high school and police dispatchers alerted officials there to keep everyone inside, police said.

Backup officers arrived and tried to corner the dogs near the corner of East Bellevue Avenue and North Claremont Street, police said, but the pair became more aggressive.

2. They are sweet puppies. Then a human gets them

and f***s them up.

3. I was getting ready to say they sound feral until it said they found the owner when one ran home
