The pit bull and male Rottweiler we previously had were our daughter's rescue dogs. The pit lived inside, and the rottie lived outside, however. We always were careful to keep'em apart.

But we lived on 4 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac. No one ever bothered us or stole anything with Hank outside.

Any owner just has to be very careful with big dogs commonly thought to be dangerous. And that often means walking them on leashes in public.

Tennessee has a statewide leash law regardless of the size of your dog.

Many people don't know about this. They just assume that if the city/county does not have a leash ordinance then their dog is free to roam. The local animal shelter can pick them up just based on the state law.
