Lots of dogs can pose a bite risk but pit bulls pose a rather unique mauling risk. It’s not just a bite but a frenzied attack that doesn’t stop until someone is dead. This is what the dogs were bred for and it’s what we get almost uniquely from the breed.
It’s not just because they’d big and strong… lots of breeds and big and could kill if they attacked relentlessly, but even when agitated and angry it almost never happens, except for pit bulls. They pose a unique risk for viscous attacks.
Listen, I get it. Any dog can snap, even my 22lb Chihuahua/ Dachshund/treeing coonhound mix.
She decided out of the blue that my wife was a threat for sitting on the edge of the bed and it resulted in a trip to the emergency room.
But the thing is, Bean here is 22lbs and after the initial, WHAT THE FUCK moment, I could grab her and secure her in a crate.
You’re not doing that with 70-80 lbs of pure muscle.
