[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I am no where near a fan of pits/pit mixes/bullies, what everyone is not looking at is that children ages 5-9 are the biggest demographic of dog bites.   I never leave my dogs unattended when there are small kids around - no one should, and this study supports that.

There is a video circulating on social media where a kid is "playing" with a dog (spaniel of some type) and the kid either doesn't know, or ignores the cues that the dog is giving that it is not comfortable with the kid pulling on its ears and hair.  Eventually the dog snaps and bites the kid on the face.  The sad thing is there are two adults in the video who should have known better and stopped the kid before it got to the point the dog felt it had to defend itself. [/quote]

This, if a kid I don’t know or I have concern with partly for my dog’s safety I get down on the dogs level ready to intervene.  Especially if they are doing something my dog hates.  [/quote]
Like riding a bike? Poor Justin Gilstrap was doing that, something that his neighbor’s three pit bulls evidently hated. Hated so much they ate his scalp, among other injuries, but the child was literally scalped and has been dealing with the follow up care and misery since.

Any dog [i]can[/i] bite, pits are among the few that [i]maul[/i] for the joy of it. [/quote]
