Well, not that I'm defending anything. Just saying other breeds attack too... especially when provoked by kids, etc. I was attacked by a pit bull, sort of, a few years ago, so totally not defending anything. His teeth went right through a sheepskin jacket and ski sweater and drew blood. It knocked me right over the hood of a car. I think it was because I had a big red gym bag hanging off me... and the retard (literally, it was the owner's mentally challenged cousin) walking the dog had it on an extra long lead. Luckily I had dogs so knew enough to stay calm and managed to get it off me. If I had been a kid or an old person, it probably would have got me. That's how strong the little bugger was. Wasn't put down either...
