I have a friend here, that had a pit. They raised it as a pet, till it was around two yrs old. It bit his son one morning. Dead Dog. Those dogs are bred to be mean, not pets for kids. There was a member here that posted pit attacks every other day or at least every week. Yes, the media pays more attention to Pits because they do so much damage when they attack. It only takes one killing to make you a murderer.
same with a Pit.
