I've had plenty of friends who've had what would be considered dangerous breeds. Pits, Rots and Dobes. I can tell you stories about each one of these and to say that if you're a good pet owner it shouldn't happen is false and dangerous.

I'll share with you a story about a friend's Rotweiler. We were at a gathering. It was a cool evening, we were loading a car off of the trailer. His dog was in the back of his truck. This Rotweiler was the most gentle dog and in six years never had an incident. Well, as we were unloading the car from the trailer the dog jumped through the rear window and would have mauled a complete stranger had the dog's owner not been able to wrestle it to the ground and subdue him. He got a good piece of pants and destroyed the guy's shirt. The bite wasn't bad and the guy chalked it up to shit happening.

Another friend had a Pit since it was a baby. The dog was your average happy playful, never violent Pit. The owner swore by the fact that people are wrong about Pits. He defended his dog and other pits as dogs only being as good as their owners. The dog got loose and started attacking another dog. When the owner of the other dog tried to breakt it up. The Pit attacked him.

I'm pretty sure that there is somethign a bit different about some of these breeds.
