Ok. getting off the soapbox now!
There is always someone who has to ruin a positive thread with their own ignorance. You obviously have no education whatsoever on the breed, so don't post something that you know NOTHING about. A dog never ever, no matter what breed, has a reason to attack/bite/etc someone without a good reason. A dog cannot just be aggressive. People who avoid dogs on the street just because they are "pit bulls" are NOT TRUE DOG lovers.
