Pit bulls were not bred to ‘attack’ anything.
They were created to grab and hold dangerous livestock so that the drover/farmer was kept safe from.
No one would create a dog who would damage/injure their expensive livestock by ‘attacking’ it.
I can’t understand why people won’t bother to look up the histories of any breed of dog.
People did to this them and people should pay the price.
Dumb animals should not suffer for the sins of trash humans.
FYI, the *only* breed ‘created to attack people’ are Dobermanns.
Forty years with ‘em and I’ve never even had a nip.
Not from ‘well bred show kennel dogs’ *or* the dozens of rescues from God-knows-where that I rehabilitated for adoption.
As a teen, I spent my summer days lounging in my back yard with two *intact* males who never misbehaved.
During my rescue years, I’d have 3 or 4 Dobes wandering freely in the house, every one of them coexisting with the other, peacefully.
*I* did that.
*I* made the difference.
This video says it all.

A moron is goading a bull and suffers the consequences and some dog he doesn’t even know saves his sorry ass.
If not for that gutsy little dog doing what he was born to do, he’d be -dead-.
All these years my understanding was that Dobies had been bred to be obedient to their master's commands. That did not necessarily include attacking people (although it might).
I have had three sitting shoulder to shoulder, all doing the "innocent look" with a word. Great breed.
