Pitbull Attack Turns Floor into a Pool of Blood

Jesus!! I raised sled dogs for 4 years in northern Manitoba. One of my pullers attacked me, so I stuck my finger in it's eye and it fucked off.

Exactly! I ask the question every time I see stuff like this.. insert finger into eye socket, and gauge the christ out of it.. dog buggers off.

A lot of times a dog will take staring them in the eyes as a challenge or a threat. Especially a dog that is dominant or in many cases unaltered(not spayed/neutered). I agree with those who state that "Pit Bull" type dogs are not inherently vicious in general. They are, however, MUCH more powerful than a lot of other breeds and therefore when they do attack, it's usually pretty severe. The problem is that ANY dog, no matter how sweet or well raised they are have the potential to be dangerous in the right situation. There are several problems with the reports of Pit Bull type dog attacks. First thing is that Pit Bull attacks are sensationalized, as opposed to a labrador or retriever. No one wants to hear about "Air Bud" lashing out and killing a child. Secondly is mistaken identity, there are dozens of different breeds and mixed breeds associated with the "Pit Bull" title. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a breed on it's own, but has been lumped in with other molosser breeds and mixes due to similar features.

I also do not believe that it's all in how they are raised. I say this because not all dogs who were treated badly and improperly trained turn out to be vicious monsters, just as not all dogs who are raised in a loving family are perfectly safe. Proper training and socialization are very important, but breeding (or lack thereof) can be a huge factor in a dog's temperament. And to be fair, some dogs just are not wired right from the get go. Most dog attacks are also not "out of the blue", there are usually signs leading up to the actual attack that the dogs is not right. Maybe he's hurting somewhere, or sick, or just feeling threatened or afraid. There are so many factors to a dog attack that one specific breed can't possibly be dangerous. Responsible ownership is the key. Train your dog, get regular vet checks, keep all vaccines up to date, socialize from a young age, take notice when your dog is not behaving like normal even in the slightest bit and for god's sake SUPERVISE them with children and strangers.
