Barnegat: At a bus stop on Highland @ Sixth for a report of a juvenile chased by a dog. Caller is the child’s parent and they tell police a Pit Bull chased their child while waiting for the bus. Apparently the dog is also chasing other school children. It doesn’t sound like any child has any injuries, and parents might be able to identify dog’s owners. The Pit Bull allegedly ran into the wooded area off Highland. PD arriving on scene.
BARNEGAT: Dog Chases Kids at Bus Stop
sad. puppy probably just wanted some love but because he’s a pitbull he must be trying to feed off the children right? ????????♀️???? poor thing probably thought the kids running around were playing with him.
Amber Sterzel That was my thought. I have pitbulls and they love to run after anyone running to play
Amber Sterzel you KNOW that would be Oscar. Lol
Kelly Shumaker I miss that jumbo lap dog♥️
And he isnt changing any time soon…lol
Maybe the dog was trying to play…if a dog wants to attack you they will get a hold of you
DeStefano Allison my thoughts exactly!
Disposition: PD did not locate the dog in question. PD did make contact with the dog’s owners, and were able to match the animal with its’ house. No further action taken.
Wait!!! Kids actually go to a bus stop???
Wait, did you run out of pitbull pictures?

They’re back ordered.
How does this dog tied to a sign set in concrete get into so much trouble?
Tim Reid esp a beagle of all dogs, itll kiss them to death, I know I have 3
Tim Reid he is so smart he unties himself shae shifts, gets into trouble shape shifts back and ties himself back up just in time for cops to arrive!

My kind of dog!
Dogs do run to get help. When owner is hurt or house on fire. Don’t think they are going to attack.
I remember waiting outside with my child the bus stopped the door opened my child got on an so did my dog(pit bull) . He sat on the seat next to her. Quite funny.
Most Pits, by nature, are goofballs!
Doesn’t even look like a pit bull!!! Maybe the kids were antagonizing the dog??
Carol Parichuk Kaiser ever hear of STOCK PHOTO?
Carol Parichuk Kaiser maybe the dog actually was chasing a kid
Question?
Is this the dog in question..
Or another fake picture.
Just to let you know.
That dog you pictured here.
Is a hound dog..not a pit.
I am beginning to see a pattern here.
You guys just don’t like pits huh.?lol
Terry Hanlon Hills 1) stock photo
2) they don’t pic what comes across the scanner
3) my pitbull is offended that you think this site hates her!
Bobbie Lyn Harrsch read my comment
I love pit bulls I have one
Terry Hanlon Hills yet YOU jump to conclusions about this site not liking them
Omg, to Ocean County Scanner News, you can’t catch a break with whatever picture you post. I appreciate the stock photo this time doesn’t look vicious. Come on people, common sense, they are just trying to report news with “a generic photo”. ????♀️????♀️

So this senior beagle was chasing kids?
Looks like a Beagle
Laura Ann I think so too.
No doubt that’s a hound..
Not a pit..
Laura Ann stock photo
Definitely looks like a Beagle to me! Hope they found it’s owner.

Another bad rap for pitties

Most of the times the callers know of poodles, dogs, or pit bulls. That’s it.
I wasn’t there but the kids were chasing the dog. People suck, dogs are better.
Ok I wasn’t there but, how do they know the dog was trying to attack them? He might’ve just wanted to play. Just cause it’s a pitbull running towards you doesn’t always mean they want to attack. I know plenty of people that have those dogs and they’re all sweet as can be.
Rich Alan ur dang right they r hello ????????
Jodilynn Virgilito-Lamberti ????????
Rich Alan are they talking about the dog that’s tied up in the picture because that’s definitely not a pitbull that looks more like a hound mix
Now that looks like a pitbull
Criss Stevenson its a stock photo. The dog was allegedly chasing them. Can’t chase them if it’s tied up.
Rich Alan well yeah that was my next thing that I was going to say
Regardless of the breed ANY DOG is NOT supposed to be running loose EVER
