Reply #22: Dangerous breed [View All]

[AngryAmish]

Individuals can be docile, but the damage that a pit can cause is immense. I have dealt with people (mostly young kids) with permanent facial scarring from pits. One pit bit a five year old girl on the chest. She has already had two plastic surgeries, will definitely get one more after she develops and probably will need one or two others. One kid bit on the arm (after he fell) and he needed 145 stitches - plus a dislocated elbow. Each of these attacks were unprovoked.

Any fool who wants that breed does not like humans - your dog could really hurt someone. The biting power is that immense.

Everyone like to think their dog is different. And it may be. However, some dogs just snap. Imagine the kid down the block who will never get a date the rest of his life because your dog snapped one day and decide to treat his face as a chew toy. And then tell his parents that you are not a selfish bastard.
