The Breed of Peace strikes again!
Owing a pit bull is a passive-aggressive way for cowards to express hostility towards their neighbors. The pitbull incident in our neighborhood involved the notorious jail-bait family two streets over. That family had a fight with everyone they encountered, and were frequently drunk and disorderly (this was a dense city neighborhood), with many police visits to their house.
One day their pugnacious teenager took their pitbull into the children's playground in the public park, carried the pitbull up the 7-foot sliding board ladder and pushed the dog from the top down the slide. When the dog got to the bottom and fell off, he immediately jumped up and ran to the nearest 3-year-old sitting on a bench with her nanny and bit the child in the spinal column.
I see what you did there.

I should note that the chart in post 64 refers to dogbite fatalities. Not just nips.
I agree.
Than you. He is doing as well as can be expected. The pit bull owners wanted to return the dog back to the people who they got him from but they do not want to take him back.
When we were kids out collies would herd us back into the yard if we got anywhere near the street.
The pit needs to be euthanized. He’s done enough damage already.
That’s terrible. I hope the dog was put down.
It was the child of a single mom, too. But we raised some money for her and we got the park to post signs prohibiting dogs in any area, but especially in the kid’s playlot section. This happened some years ago and I don’t know what happened to the dog, but I heard of no further dog incidents with the Wack-a-doo familiy.
