I actually do feel bad now they this article about a child being attacked has people coming at a simple comment with garbage. But you calling me delusional for what I said then saying every pitbull is a killer and shouldn’t be a pet is far more delusional. I suppose every military aged male is a killer too right? Why not? Because they’re individuals with their own thoughts and personalities and certainly not every soldier has killed someone.

This is what people don't understand about pit bulls.

If you're their owner, they're sweet and nice to you. But once you have kids, or have them around someone weaker...if you're not around, they may attack. They're emotionally unstable dogs that were bred to fight.

So, yes, they are super nice....but mostly to their owners.

Either way, every dog has to be trained around human children, at the very least not to bully them, push them out of the way, or hump them.

I personally know a child that was attacked by the family pit.

Not a family dog breed.

The average is around $40,000 which is about what both my wife and I had. I lived at home until I was 28 (I'm 40 now) and paid them off. Most people I know that graduated in the last 10 years have ~$1000/mo student loan payments. Your story and my story are not the norm. The difference here is I'm aware of that fact.

Just google "nanny dog myth" and you'll find alot of information, even from the pro pit bull side. They want people to stop calling them "nanny dogs" as well because it makes dog owners think its ok to leave children alone with them, when it's never ok to leave a child alone with any dog.
