This was not a pit bull but a much bigger pooch. Some kind of mastiff, maybe.

I was working in my garden several years ago when I met Max for the first time. He had somehow gotten out from his invisible fence and decided to checkout the neighborhood. He saw me with a piece of heavy rope in my hand across 4 vacant lots. I never saw or heard a thing until I was attacked by a werewolf. Or so I thought. Max was a large, young and playful black Lab. He bloodied me up pretty good, but (for him) it was all just good fun. Max and I soon became very good friends.
The point is that even breeds not known as problems, can
ALL be dangerous depending on the specific situation. Owners must be vigilant at all times. You may never have a problem, but the possibility is always there.
PS. Max's owers were shocked by what had happened and feared a lawsuit. I happen to love roughhousing with big dogs. We settled out of court for a batch of chocolate chip cookies.
