“Sad to say, it’s not really the breed of dog, rather the breed of owner that is most at fault for these tragedies.”

EXACTLY! I’ve had a few pits over my lifetime, and I have one now (yes, a rescue). He is sweet and is very affectionate with people.

It’s funny, but none of my dogs ever bit anyone. I’ve been bitten by dogs, though, and not a one was a pit, no matter whose it was. Granted, I don’t know any gangbangers and I will have nothing to do with anyone who mistreats an animal, so I guess that minimizes my risk of being bitten. The dogs that did bite me were usually little 10 to 20 pound “designer” dogs. Mutts are the best dogs.

IMO, for pure nastiness a Chow out ranks a Pit.

But that's the point...Some of these loving pit bull family dogs 'turn' at some point, to the shock and dismay of their owners...And they are not content to just bite you...They kill you and then rip you apart...
