ummmmmm, i think i see a way to resolving this!! yes, put electric fence around your car!!! lol jk man but seriously, that really REALLY sucks and i've never heard of that happening to anyone! Wonder how the insurance company would react "so tell me what happened" "......well, my dogs chewed on my car" I can only imagine the reaction you would get with that hahaha

The question is... why didnt you shoot the dog yet?

[meadus101]

Cause it's his dog man... You can't just... Shoot it for chewing on a Car.

This is what you should from now on, dont let them go outside unattended.

There's no one to blame here... It doesn't matter how much you train a dog, it's still a dog. Hell, my dog is pretty smart! He knows what not to do and what he can do... Does that stop him? Not really... I've lost stuff due to my dog chewing on it.... It's what they do. This just happens to be really odd and new.

Next time, please keep comments like this to yourself.

Better he chewed on the car than a person.

My Husky was well behaved, I went on vacation and came home a week later. He had chewed the front of my TV, the front of my new couch and a hole in the living room carpet and one in the family room.
He was bored and pissed that we left him and had someone come over 3 times a day to feed, check the water and do his business outside.

It is common for dogs to do crap like this, I have never heard of one chewing on fenders.

maybe the dog is a ford fan ?

or its a sign to get the osv kit ? hmmmm?

Fixed...

The pits that are bad have bad owners. This pit isn't bad... He probably just doesn't like Oldsmobiles. lol

this statement sounds pretty ignorant, what is it based upon?

He was jealous cause he or she didn't come out on the pic. So when the dog went online and saw the pic, the only thing that came to his mind was.....Revenge........

[freakout]

I had a rotti that would chew through small tires and remove mudflaps. She was not a mean dog that was just her thing. She played with tires. If it was inflated and she couldn't pop it she'd try the valve stem.

I grew up with German Shephards and after the training stage they never just randomly chewed something. The worst a dog has done to my car was piss on the tire.

That can be more destructive than chewing on a fender. Their urine is very destructive, over time it can help to break down rubber compounds and help cause blowouts and dry rot, not to mention smelling bad in the garage.

Not all dogs are trained 100%. Under the right situation any and all animals will be destructive.

[Ryan from Ohio]

just admit it, that chick rubs her tits on the fender after the motor. The dog... well cant blame the dog... lol

[Oldsnut]

That would be something else rubbing the fender if she had her boobs in the engine bay. You definitely could not blame the dog then.

I had a pit-shepherd mix up until just before Christmas. He was an attention whore, to say the least. And a royal pain in the ass. He chewed through a gigantic ham bone (although everyone said it was more like a dinosaur bone it was so big) in a matter of about a week. He chewed on the door frame one day while I was at work and ripped the entire piece of molding off the side of the door, all 6'-8" of it and left it in pieces in the middle of the floor! And yes, he tore my ass up a few times, too. But I'll be dammed if he ever chewed on my car LOL

pitbulls are bred to be biting machines. they just get a bad rep for being vicious, when in reality its the stupid owners who train them (or don't train them) for it. they aren't really more or less harmful then bigger dogs, but i too repeatedly, and frequently hear that pitbulls aren't nice dogs.
