Good people love these dogs and try hard to train them but because of their nature and their power they are very dangerous no matter how much training they have. Not all of them are well trained, and owners are not always around to exercise that control. Type in pitbull in Google and read about the deaths and damage they have caused. Last year I had to fight one with my bare hands to save my dog's life, and I barely won. It tore my dogs rear leg wide open as she turned to try to run away, and then it grabbed her by the head and attempted to tear her head off. I beat it with my walking stick and it did not feel anything I did. My dog was seriously injured but after two surgeries and much expense she did recover. I had to jump on it and choke it nearly to death to save my small dog. I was bit and had to receive medical treatment. I was scared and emotionally damaged. My dog was tore up, and I had to rush her to the vet for surgeries, and I admit that I failed to protect her in the first place. All I was doing was walking down the street with my dog on a leash. The pitbull's instinct to kill kicked in when it saw my little dog, pulled away from the child walking it and and changed my life forever. They are VERY dangerous. Most people who are injured or killed by them are trying to save their own dog from attack. I am a strong person who was very lucky. They do not belong in the villages or any city.

What a decent person you are. Although you went through this horrible experience you were able to fairly talk about this breed. I don't own a dog but everyone who knows me knows I love them. I am afraid of this breed for the reasons that have been stated. Nonie who is the absolute biggest dog lover I know and who volunteers her time at shelters says the same thing.
You are a good brave person JimJoe.
