This statistic is for reported bites.

The majority of bites are white collar bites. They don't get reported as often, because the dogs are weak and can't bite. That yellow dog has no bite.

The dog in that photo will expect you to protect it.

Pitbulls command respect. They know they are bad ass, and that others are stupid.
If one bites you, then it's likely you probably did something stupid.

People should try not to do foolish things.

It's not easy for some. Some people are afraid of everything.

The statistics for fatalities look bad for pits too though: https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities.php

Looks like two thirds of all fatal dog attacks were from pits. The second being Rottweilers at 10%. I think a lot of it has to do with ability too. Pits are just giant balls of muscle.

Pitbulls are like canine cats. A good friend had one that he could carry with his belly and feet facing up.

He'd drop it, and it would land in it's feet.

The dog enjoyed showing off.

Bambam knew that it was amazing.
