I completely agree with all that Willy, Ferm and others have said. Let me add a few more things to my original post.
First, in NJ at least, if that dog had bitten anyone it would have been taken from the owner and watched. The owner has one (1) appeal to have the dog returned to him. If the dog bites a second person it is taken from the owner and put to death. Period. Seems cruel, but how much worse would it be to have the dog kill a child or an elder person unable to defend themselves? As I said in my first post I've raised several Guardian type dogs. For those that are not familiar with this type of dog, look up Caucasian Ovcharka. My last one (Sasha) was the runt of the litter and only weighed 124lbs. She was simply a fantastic dog and I miss her greatly. Never once did I ever feel afraid when going to sleep, knowing that she and her brothers and sisters before her were on guard. These dogs were/are bred to kill wolves in the Ural Mountains in Russia. She was a guardian, and they are, by breeding, trained to guard the family and the area they live in from ALL outsiders. Big, super powerful and would take a Pit Bull to an early grave. My point of all this is that although she was a great family dog, I had to put her in the bedroom anytime we had visitors, simply because I knew that if I didn't they would be hurt badly. It's called being responsible for ones actions. It sounds to me like your cousin needs to learn the same lesson. The sooner the better. If he cannot take control of his dog, make it a practice to never meet him again at his house. That way you cannot get bitten.

Thank you all for the good advise and concern. I feel better now. I have had no call from them yet, I just hope that this dog does not hurt somebody else, because then they ( the owners ) will be at fault.
Thank again guys !! And HAPPY 2011 !!!!!
