[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a neighbor friend who wants to get a pit bull. If they do, my daughter will not go their home again. And I have no problem telling them that. My brother's next door neighbor's daughter was hospitalized after being attacked by a neighbor's pit bull, and my husband's best friend's wife was bitten in the leg and got stitches when she was attacked on an evening walk and a couple was walking their pit bull.  Not risking it.[/quote]

Focusing on breed makes you less safe, because it stops you from paying attention to the factors that actually lead to dog attacks.

If your friend has a poorly socialized dog, that's bad news. Male dogs should be neutered. Young kids should not be left unsupervised around dogs, especially dogs they don't know.

Make sure your kid learns how to behave around dogs, too. How to approach them, how to act around them, how to tell if a dog wants attention or not.

A dog being a pit bull or a Rottie or a Chihuahua - it truly doesn't make your kid more or less safe. Other than big dogs are of course stronger than small dogs.[/quote]

I'd rather be bitten by a chihuahua then mauled and dead via a pit bull.

presumably there's all kinds of things you'd rather be, than dead.

but that dog in your picture is just standing there looking calm and alert. nothing alarming. try to learn something about dogs before letting fear rule your life.

That dog looks like a monster. I'll let fear over pit bulls rule my life all I want. As you said rather that than dead. [/quote]

Agree.  I can feel myself tensing up while looking at that picture.  Beyond scary.[/quote]
