I watched and struggled with a “wonderful, smart, loving well-trained” pit bull, while it killed a 3-year-old child.

Reminds me of that chimp that went berserk in Connecticut a few days ago.

The family raised it like a baby; living with it for 20 or so years, it used to dress itself and was treated like a child of the family.

So what happens?

One day it snaps FOR NO REASON, tears the face right off a neighbor, bites off the neighbors hands, tears pieces off the neighbor and starts eating the neighbor alive.

One of many reasons I suspect any animal owner who thinks their pet wouldn't hurt a fly, is an irresponsible owner.

Great point. I know any of our dogs will attack if seriously provoked. The Rott, the yellow lab, the small mix breed we call ‘warpig’ in jest...dogs are pack animals, and you are the Alpha Male in their lives. Attack the Alpha, meet the packs response.
Its always ‘on the owner’. Which is why we have a large split rail dog wire lined yard, and when we take them out for a walk they are always on a long leash, even though we are in a remote rural county with more cattle than humans, and more horses than sports cars.
