Yeah, couple of my neighbors have pits but they all seem pretty easy going. Stories like this are enough to make a man consider working in his yard with a .40 on the hip or a 12 ga. nearby.
80 lb. dog is gonna be hard to subdue by hand. Any breed.
They are bred to snap.
All dogs are ‘easy going’ until they snap.
I don’t know how many pit bull owners I’ve heard quoted in these kinds of stories that have said ‘my dog has always been fine, it’s the first time they ever did that’.
Conversely I never hear that kind of statement from any other kind of dog owner.
They are ticking time bombs. If you have children, do not let them out of your house.
