Did he leave a scar?
Point is NOT that the dog is aggressive and dangerous, the point is that the dog is PERCEIVED as aggressive and dangerous, and this is the ONLY reason people get them. Do not tell me otherwise, because that is an outright lie.
There is a REASON alot of countries has banned the breed.

Had I been an infant and unable to defent myself, yes that dog could have killed me. My upper lip was lacerated requiring 8 stitches... yes I have a scar... and I didn't have the dog put down, I just punched it in the head extremely hard as an instant reaction. I personally find pits to have an amazing personality, and have countless friends who own them for anything BUT protection. They are great dogs, very protective and posess the capacity for lethal force, but very kind and loyal animals at the same time. I'm Irish, I have a short fuse, by blood, and I will snap quicker than others, and I will react ocationaly with excessive force. I was raised to quite the oposite, so yes, I beleive my blood has some to do with my disposition, but at the same token, because of how I was raised, I do not react in such a fassion unless the situation really calls for it. Just like the dog, push the wrong buttons and you'll get bit.
