The CDC data is interesting but also somewhat misleading. It doesn't show dog attacks by breed as percentage of the total population.

Of course "Pittbull" is listed as number one. Nine out of ten people can't identify an actualy Pittbull. The category represents some dozen or more different breeds of powerful dogs. Cumatively, of COURSE they do the most damage.

Veterinarians almost universally agree that no single factor leads to dog attacks and making it as simple as picking on certain breeds is just ridiculous. You'd think they'd know a thing or two about animals.
