I see you have a soft spot for these dogs too. I have no doubt that if you have one it is the apple of your eye, but I go to so many calls where the loving Pit Bull Terrier every owner proclaims is harmless has blood dripping off of it’s chin and splattered up to it’s knees from another animal usually.
I have extensive video on my dash cam of one Pit who had a little Lab in it’s mouth doing the death shake with it. It attacked my partner as he got out of his car and we had to put it down too.
I realize the human factor of danger is usually related to an attack on another animal as the thread we are on, but not always.
The attack when I was FORCED to put one down was because I was on his front porch trying and locate his master because he was running the neighborhood and attempting to bite several neighbors and kill their dogs.
I believe the basis of their violence is territorial dominance and is apparently a breed trait. A trait such as this in not usually overcome with Love or “training”.

It isn’t just their aggressiveness. It is their jaw power. Combine the two and you have a potentially deadly combination.
You have to keep them separated.I had a pit with a rat terrier and a chihuahua they had the usual dog dominance thing and the rat terrier was the dominant dog and he was missing an eye and going blind in the other.I would walk the pit and on the occasion when another dog would bark and act the fool my pit would be calm and usually ignore it.
