If some owners are able to stop an attack from becoming lethal, then that means pitbulls are even MORE lethal than the stats suggest because there could easily be more deaths.

For him, at least, the dogs are more of a symbol of how much of a badass he thinks he is. He's Italian, short and fat. He asked me to watch them one time and I said absolutely not. Nothing worse than an untrained dog. Won't sit, heel or even respond when it sees something it wants to go after. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Is there a Pitbull ordinance in Kansas City?

That lady bringing more dogs into the situation is a dumb****. Glad it wasn't worse.

Don't necessarily fault anyone for simply not trusting dogs with this kind of reputation - there's no NEED for them to exist; plenty of 'safe' dogs out there for anyone that wants one.

But I'll say this - that rot if mine, hard headed as he is, is the most fiercely loyal and attentive dog. He's aware of everything. If he sees someone walking down the sidewalk and the kids are in the driveway, he'll just go to the end of the driveway and watch everything.

And I don't have a good way to describe his personality apart from just being very mercurial. He's charming as ****; everyone that visits us loves that dog because he's just an interesting and extremely affectionate little heathen.

But again - I don't fault the 'I'll never have one' crowd because they are different. Different to train, different to own.

And ultimately I think that's where people truly fail. They try to pretend like their rotty or their pit is a golden retriever. They aren't; never will be. They're working dogs and they're laser focused. If you can't direct that focus, you'll end up with a bit of a neurotic dog. And a neurotic dog with that kind of bite force is not great.

Geeze be serious. Even if an average cat might be less predictable than an average dog (I doubt), show me a case of a house cat killing a human. We've had seven cats, and there is not one that wouldn't disengage in bad behavior if I showed my displeasure (as in clapping my hands loudly). My dad got his leg tore up by his cat when he got triggered by another cat, but dad's life wasn't ever in danger.
