For those of you who think a dog would never attack without warning, I would love for you to explain to my mother why she had to endure a year of nursing her son (me) back to health when the neighbor's dog crossed the yard, and latched onto my head ( I was 2 years old at the time).

I can speak from experience...there was no provocation, the dog was always on the doorstep. I'm sorry, but this is one of my greatest pet peeves...yes, most dog attacks are caused by people doing stupid things, but accept the fact that some dogs are just bad, and can, and have, attacked without warning.

Also, lets not kid ourselves about another fact either, Pit Bulls were bred to fight, its in their genes. Are most Pits loving and wonderful dogs? Yes, without doubt...but some dogs are just plain bad, and a Pit Bull gone bad is a dog I don't want to cross.
