I have also seen the stories about a lovable pit suddenly mauling a familiar person. They always say it was so sweet, but I have yet to read about someone claiming the dog was well trained. Or any story where a verifiably well trained pit attacked the owner or anyone or other dog. The level of training just doesn’t seem to come up in dog attack stories, which is a shame. I would like to know.
Supposedly only 5% of dog owners bother to train their animal, even the bare minimum. I would suspect that pits get even less training considering what kind of uses many are horribly put to.

If it were simply training, then ALL breeds across the board would have the equal propensity to attack and maul or kill.
I can’t, no make that don’t cause I’ve seen how people treat other breeds of dogs, believe that all other dog breed owners are responsible and train their dogs well, except for pit owners.
