Well, the stats I was referring to don’t include animals. There are some that have a very high prey drive with other animals, and there are others that do fine. There are many dogs that do fine with people/kids but don’t like other dogs. There was a lady on YouTube that had one for years (he has since passed of cancer) who was gentle with all of the animals on her farm and her newborn. It was more gentle than any of my dogs - and I’ve mostly had small dogs. Video of him:

I’m sorry to hear that about your Sheltie, though. I’m glad she was not killed. It sounds like there are a lot of pit bulls in your area. I don’t see many in mine with the exception of having neighbors that kept a couple of them, but they were crated a lot.
I did see a video of a guy who used this particular bear spray on a pit bull that came near his cat. It was effective. It didn’t hurt the dog permanently, but it sent it home.
