Please maybe? It’s a difficult topic, because the data doesn’t lie: Pitbulls are responsible for the most dog on human attacks in America, followed by rotties.

There’s nothing inherent in those dogs that would make them more dangerous, but a mix of bad training, being attractive to bad owners who want them for protection or to “look cool” makes us careful around these physically powerful breeds. Don’t forget that dogs like the Saint Bernard is also considered to be a “powerful breed”, yet you rarely hear of a Saint Bernard attack. Go figure, they don’t look “cool” and you can’t crop their ears to make them look aggressive.

I know some cute and shy pitties myself, but I know there are a lot of them that are trained to rip your face off.
