I really don't understand why anyone after reading the article about the mom having to stash her baby in a trash can and her getting mauled could seriously say that Pitt bulls are a "safe" dog. The mother did nothing to this dog, didn't even see it come into the garage.......I would consider that a sign of instability in the dog. It seems that everytime I read another article about a piit bull attack, it's always been unprovoked, yet people call them gentle and loving??? I would prefer to steer clear of them.
