Pit bull morons. Maryland is full of them for some strange reason. Sorry it led to another death.
Plenty of them in Texas, too. We are adopting some creative laws though to deal with dangerous breeds. Some cities and municipalities are just flat outlawing ownership of them. Texas law states that if you are the owner of a "dangerous dog" you have 30 days to register the ownership of the dog and show proof of 100,000 worth of liability insurance.
