I was watching the news about a "Confrontation with a dog". A dog was barking and growling (probably bluffing) at a guy and some kids, the guy went in the house, got a gun, shot some warning shots, the dog didn't go away, so he shot it in the legs, and the dogs now being treated at the vets, blah blah...

Now, you know if it was a pit, the headline would read "VICIOUS PITBULL ATTACKS CHILDREN AND FATHER" THEY MANAGED TO GET AWAY, AND THE FATHER STRUGGLED WITH THE DOG UNTIL HE MANAGED TO SHOOT IT. THERE IS NO HOPE FOR REHABILITATING THIS HORRIBLE MONSTER PITBULL. THEY WILL BE EUTHANIZING IT SHORTLY. HURRAH!

The dog was probably a golden or a lab or something. That's why pit bulls get such a bad rep-between pits and rotties, they are the only dog breeds that get mentioned.
