My dogs are relatively small. Even if they were to bite someone, even if they bit a child, they would not destroy tissue and crush bone. They do not have the equipment. A big dog with a massive clamping jaw is a different story. I don’t know what I would do if I saw someone walking a pit bull through my neighborhood. If I saw it when my kids were small I might examine my options always keeping in mind that protecting my family is my first job.
All dogs are dogs.
All dogs are capable of killing.
There are no exceptions.

Not understanding that your dog is, indeed, a *dog* is a dangerous state of mind.

Both really small.
Both are *dogs*.

A friend has a 12 gauge Mossberg that sits in her umbrella stand by the front door. It has a plastic umbrella with the hand grip removed shoved into the barrel. It is impossible to tell that it isn’t just another umbrella.
