It's amazing that a grown man could be killed by this dog.

It's usually women and children first.

But, dogs are incredibly strong.

Bubba, for example, my exceedingly large and even more exceedingly greedy, Lab wanted to get at a bird. A bird carcass that is.

I was holding with all my might, he had a pinch collar on. It should have hurt him a little to pull like that.

I couldn't hold him. I called to a passer by to help me and he gave me the, "Lady, you've gotta be kidding" look.

Can't really blame him. Bubba is big and black. But then, so was he.

Funny how strong animals are.

But Pit Bulls are really sweet and misunderstood.

My knee-jerk assumption is that you're being sarcastic...

Regardless: pits are misunderstood. People misunderstand how to handle them effectively, and when that misjudgement plays itself out in violence, folks hit one extreme or the other. I gave up painting the world in black-and-white a long time ago.
