I own a pitty mix, and he's the sweetest thing.. He sees a child and his whole backend starts to wiggle, and he wants to give them a kiss in the face... Lol...

I think people need to realize that theres a difference between HUMAN aggression, and ANIMAL aggression. Pit bulls were bred to be aggressive towards other animals, but not towards people... So usually, a pit bull attack towards a child or anyone else was either provoked, or completely his/her owners fault. Most of these people that have had their child attacked by their pit bull leave their pit bulls chained up outside and then let the kids just go where they please in the yard... They become aggressive because they are stuck out in the yard on a chain all their life, and probably most of them only get any human interaction when their person goes out there to throw some food and water down... if they even get that.

There is plenty of small dogs, and other big dogs (such as labs and golden retrievers that attack kids, but do you see that in the news??? NO... Because everyone likes to give pitties a bad name.)

Anyway, thats just my .02 cents... for what its worth anyway.
