You should try and do a little research before you go about making inaccurate statements. This is where a lot of the negative image of pit bulls comes from, people that make statements without having the facts to back them up, then Joe gullible thinks oh I heard this from such and such a person so it must be true.
Now I am not saying that there are no bad or vicious pit bulls, because surely there are and just is the same of any other breed of dog. I would say that 99% of the time if trained/socialized properly they can be terrific pets/companions. You must also understand that there is a hierarchy in the social structure of pack animals and you may find with a lot of these larger dominate breeds that they will try and test you so as to become the alpha dog in the pack themselves (because they will look at you as part of their pack). It is up to you to show them who is the boss (ALPHA MALE). That is why certain people should not own these larger dominate breeds because not knowing and understanding this social structure can have deadly consequences, even if your intentions are good.
Now what happened to Aaron's dog is awful and should never have happened. That is a prime example of irresponsible dog ownership. At no time should any dog be allowed to wander the streets by themselves. For their own safety as well as the safety of others. I hope Aaron will be able to find the owners and make them take responsibility for what happened. I also wish the dog a speedy recovery
