Oh brother all of that is false. Every year in the USA there are about 40 deaths from dogs and over 250 deaths on kids under 5 from drowning in swimming pools and 200 more in buckets. Pit bulls do not have lock jaw and have a jaw like any other dog and I have photos of skulls I use to prove this. Pit bulls have a higher fight drive than other dogs because humans bred them that way which means some of them will not lose a fight. This is a breed with a hearty soul and a can-do attitude - sad that so many lies kill millions of them via irrational fear mongering. Like "earthquake" or "disaster" or "monster" - pit bull attack is a phrase used by media to get attention. Most often the attack is not a pit bull but some mix that is identified as a pit bull type dog. Pit bull isn't a breed - it's a category of dog. It's not even a breed!
When I saw the headline I thought "I bet Pit Bull is number 1" and unfortunately I won my bet. I know you've said in the past that pit bulls are extremely loyal and obedient - wanting to make their owners happy. Once again, animals are blamed for their owners' behavior?
By the way, I've missed your stories/writing. Hope all is well and you are just busy :-)
I'm around! Aww you're so nice to remember me- I've just started writing a column for the Examiner which should be live within the next few days and I'm on Facebook. Are you on FB?
