It’s the classic behavior of a pit bull.
From: https://www.nationalpitbullvictimawareness.org/media-release-2018/
“One pit bull in 40 injures or kills a person or another animal, compared to 1 in 50,000 of all other dog breeds combined.
In the first 6 months of 2018, pit bulls killed more people than Dobermans killed in 60 years.
Between January 1 – October 15, 2018, pit bulls killed 24 out of 29 people killed by dogs.
Every year, pit bulls are responsible for:
90% of serious dog injuries to people
Deaths of up to 85% of adults and children killed by dogs
94% of all dogs killed by dogs
92% of dog maulings by other dogs
92% of all cats killed by dogs
85% of the deaths of farm animals killed by dogs
Yet pit bulls are only 6.5% of the dog population in the United States and Canada.
THE NUMBERS ARE NOT DECREASING
So far in 2018, someone has been killed by a pit bull on average every 13 days. Since we formed 4 years ago, the media in the United States and Canada has reported an average of 1,000 attacks per year.
But most municipalities do not track attacks by breed, and according to a study of insurance claims, an estimated 96% of attacks are not reported by the media at all. “
