“Pit Bulls” have such a widespread bad reputation that I’d say there must be some element to truth to that generality. Sure, all dogs can bite, and sure, some pits are angels. But the odds are, when you see smoke, there is fire. Years ago a stray pit ran onto our front yard and attacked my wife’s little dog (not that I should have cared, but that’s another story). Due to their questionable temperment and power, I consider pits more potentially dangerous to man and beast than the average dog.
