Any dog of sufficient size can maul a dog to death.
With all due respect, I don't believe you either. Everybody always knowns somebody that knows someone who was killed by a Pittbull.
Unfortunetly, the numbers don't add up. Fatal Dog attacks are very rare.
"It is necessary to emphasize that a fatal dog attack is an exceptionally unusual event. Approximating 20 deaths per year in a dog population of 53 million yields an infinitesimal percent of the dog population (.0000004%) involved in a human fatality. "
