Once I got Max under control, I had my wife call the owner. Once she saw me, she thought her life was over. Max played rough, very rough. But he was playing, and I recognized it instantly as a result of playing with my own large dogs. Result, one report of a black Labrador attack was never filed.
If all dog attacks were reported, regardless of severity, we would see a very different picture than just the dreaded pit bull. Most dogs, and virtually all small dogs would be front and center. Like the pomeranian that bit it's owner because he/she reached for the dog toy. Dog bite, yes. Blood, yes. Pain, yes. Medical attention, bandaid and a whiskey. Report, no.

So saying when some get killed by dog other than pit bulls it’s not news?

It would probably be very hard for a six lb Chihuahua to kill anyone no matter what his or her size. Pit bulls can and do kill people.

I still think it is a matter of his the dog has been treated over its life rather than genetics.

He may of been pure bread Staffordshire terrier which can be somewhat more docile, maybe. Point is that breed notoriously known to mull anything they they attack to death specially when running in two or more packs. One hard enough to fight off full grown man over 200 pounds in MMA shape two or more nearly impossible unless you have weapon. Majority are not sweet lovable little dogs that won’t hurt fly. That’s been proven over centuries.

Maul. Mull is what you do with wine.

No! You read but do not comprehend.
My point is that not all dog attacks are not reported. Attacks don't always end in fatalities. Some, fortunately, may end with nothing more than a piece of torn clothing. Others may be detered by defensive action, weapon or barrier. What big, strong, manly man wants to report that he is frightened by the menacing, ankle biting Pekingese. I would guess that most dog bites/attacks are never reported simply because "it isn't worth the trouble".
Understand now?

From Pit bull - Wikipedia :

Pit bull is an umbrella term for several types of dog believed to have descended from bull and terriers. In the United States, the term is usually considered to include the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Bully, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and sometimes the American Bulldog, along with any crossbred dog that shares certain physical characteristics with these breeds.

From Pete the Pup - Wikipedia

Pete the Pup (original, 1924 – June 1930; second Pete, September 9, 1929 – January 28, 1946) was an American dog actor, who participated in Hal Roach's Our Gang comedies (later known as The Little Rascals) during the 1930s, otherwise known as "Pete, the dog with the ring around his eye", or simply "Petey". The original Pete (sired by "Tudor's Black Jack") was a UKC registered American Staffordshire Terrier named "Pal, the Wonder Dog",[1][2][3][4] and had a natural ring almost completely around his left eye; dye was used to complete the circle. The second Pete was an American Pitbull Terrier named Lucenay’s Peter.[5] He was well known for having a circled eye which was added by Hollywood make-up artist Max Factor[6] and credited as an oddity in Ripley's Believe It or Not.

from American Pit Bull Terrier - Wikipedia

Despite the colloquial use of the term "pit bull" to encompass a whole category of dogs and the legal use of the term to include several breeds in legislation, some conservative professional breeders of the American Pit Bull Terrier as well as some experts and supporters claim that historically the APBT is the only true "pit bull" and the only breed that should be denominated as such.[6][7][8][9]

Pete was a pitbull. The original Pete was an American Staffordshire Terrier, which was included in the broad category of "pit bull" dogs and is still included in that category by many municipalities for animal law enforcement purposes, and by some dog breed organizations. The second Pete was an American Pit Bull Terrier and was a pit bull by ALL standards.

Whatever! Petey (collectively) deserves a star, or several stars, on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
