The pit that attached the mother and baby...why don't they look at HOW the dog is being kept? Was the dog socelized well as a puppy? Do the owners abuse the dog?

It's my understanding that Pitties are NOT the only breed to attack unprovoked. I've seen more Cocker Spaniels, Collies, and Labs be euthinized because they attacked unprovoked. Only because the Pit Bull has a bad reputation we fear it. Back in the 80's everyone feared the Doberman for the same reason. "They attack unprovoked". It's an unfortinate faze that our society makes the breed seem "dengerous. Most if not all Pittie attacks, the dog is living in an unproper home.

What about all these crazed Chihuahuas? We muzzel more Chihuahuas than Pit Bulls at the vet clinic. Maybe no one fears them because of their tiny teeth. They think it's "cute" that such a tiny dog thinks it can be so aggresive. It's not cute. ANY breed aggresivness should be taken seriously.

I watched a video on youtube not long ago about Pit Bulls. I'm sure some of you have seen it. It said in a seven years study of 100 dog breeds likely to bite a human the Pit Bull came 4th...from the bottom. The Cocker Spaniel and Lab were 1 and 2. Which leads back to my "I've seen more Cockers and Labs be euthinized because of unprovoked attacks." Why don't we fear Cockers or Labs???

Cockers are known as cute dogs. Labs are known as loyal dogs. If ya ask me we need to change things up a bit and see what it's like for everyone to fear the Cocker Spaniel. Doesn't it seem wierd that someone would "fear" a Cocker? Why? They are cute fluffy dogs. I guarentee if the Pit Bull had cute fluffy hair no one would fear it nearly as much as it's feared now.

As a proud owner of an American Pit Bull Terrier I'd just like to say to anyone that doubts the breed needs to meet my boy, Brick. He is fiercly loyal, a couch potato, a snuggle bug, and he's even submissive to my Pomeranian, Beanie. Right now Brick is asleep at my feet like he always is when I'm on the computer. Always by my side, a comedian, A food hog, a ball fanatic and a perfect specimen of what a Pit Bull should be.
