I wouldn’t spend much time on the thug breed defenders who try to colour the facts of this case, and I say this as the owner of an American Rottweiler that I loved to bits.

I don't think any one is trying to color the facts just to look at them in a dispassionate manner.
Surely you're aware that Rotties are referred to by some as a 'thug breed' as well.

I was also very aware of his capabilities and never for even a moment let my responsibility as the owner to slip my mind

I applaud you for this and will always stick up for Rotties and their responsible owners.
I hope you will see that all owners of targeted breeds should stick together
and work in unison against irresponsible dog ownership and for responsible dog ownership.

My Roxie loves everybody, she’s 80 pounds of joy.

Until you make the error of touching me or my wife, then she displays the more interesting traits associated with the breed....(chuckle)

She’s never once biten, or even grabbed anyone. She’s never had to.

She’s a Rott, and has a comparable effect on people doing something they shouldn’t as the sound of a pump shotgun being charged.....
