    when will people realize that different breeds have different propensities for violence. in the…Read More case of a pit bull - bred to kill - the jaw muscles alone set it aside from most other house pets. i've seen a display of skulls from different breeds and there was about 3" of muscle connection points on the pit bull skull vs a golden retriever with about 1". they are built to tear and shake and kill. there is no such thing as a safe, sweet pit-bull. unfortunately owners of large dogs have to behave like they have a loaded weapon. it's a numbers game. the chances of being mauled by a pit bull are hundreds of times higher than most dogs in suburbia. what a pity. so sorry to hear of this. sounds like a terrible mistake.
