Pit Bull

[Sophist]

I bet Fenway has a new swagger in his step! Hee hee! Fierce hunter, mistaken for a pit bull - of all things! - yes, they are both canines, but that's about all fenway and a pittie have in common ....

Now that is an outright lie!


They both have 'terrier' in their full names, too. See, practically a pittie!

HA! not much of a surprise. just goes to show how flawed all the media reports of "pit bull" attacks can be. people only want to hear about pit bull attacks so even if its a mixed breed it just gets dubbed pit bull. or people who have no idea anything about dogs just assume pit because its of a certain size or color. breed identification is a huge problem in dog bite statistics, and breed specific legislation as well. theres an interesting site I read once that listed a ton of media reports about "pit bulls" that later turned out to be other breeds all together. I read an account of a golden retriever!!! being labeled as a pit bull by uninformed people.
