Your entire post was very well put, as always. But, I especially like this part of it. I had a friend that was in rescue work, and, the dog that she was bitten by most was the Cocker Spaniel.

Just because all the media shows is pit bulls attacking people, doesn't mean that the majority of pits do that. And, it doesn't mean that they're the only breed that does. That's one thing that bothers me. They probably put on the news, every single time a pit bull or a dog that "looks like" a pit...so, it looks like all pit bulls do that. Ah, it's frustrating. No one wants to see the news report of the child that was killed by the family lab, or the family spaniel. It's just not newsworthy.
