You should reply to that article.

Funny thing is, and it's true she's probably never actually met a pittie, staffies are practically always completely soft as brushes these days. As a child, most of the ones I met were very aggressive towards other dogs at least but I think breeders have been putting a hell of a lot of effort into temperament and these dogs have now improved so much that lots of people go on about how soft and daft they are. No doubt, you still get your bad apple but that happens with any breed.

You're still more likely to be attacked by a bunch of feral chavs than you are a dog...and end up worse off for it too.
