That is true. A large dog can do more damage, And i can see where alot of people fear pitts because they are so well "Built"
Im sorry if i get defensive in my posts. I get very sad/angry when people asume that pitts are an all around bad breed. I accually had people at the rescue i volunteer at come in and make a complaint because there neighbors adopted a "pittbull" from us and they thought we should have euthed it instead of adopting him out (He is a very very sweet, gentle and very well behaved dog), You should have seen there faces when they found out he had no pittbull in him! lol. He was mixed with another bully breed. NO traces of Pitt in him at all. It was laughable and we never got a complaint from thm since. I just find it ignorant that some people assume that these dogs are all monsters that shouldnt have been created. I also find it mean that humans created this breed of dog, and now they want to punish it for being what it it is( Or said to be) It gets quite tiresome having to defend this breed when they come through the shelter. So i hope you can see why i have such a strong opinion on the matter. Im sorry if i offended ANYBODY.
Again to the OP, I hope you can "Punish" the owners and get all your bills covered. Maybe the dog could be rehomed to somebody that is familier with the pittbull breed and can work out sme of these issues with him. Best of luck to you and your pup!
