To stereotype the entire breed is wrong.
Punish the deed, not the breed.

I agree!!!
I am a owner of a Pit Bull and untrained and stupid owners are what has given these dogs bad names. I have had more problems with German Shepards than what I ever have had with a Pit. As a child the age of 2 my face was eaten by a German Shepard and that is the dog that killed my Yorkie Teddy this last June. Do I wish to see them banned??? NO....it is the owners of ANY dog that needs to be punished. I do not tolerate violence in any dog wether it is big or little. I have seen more attacks from little dogs than what I do out of the big ones, but the difference is the damage that is done.
Because Pits are in the media so frequently, people automatically assume they are bad dogs and they are not, if they are trained and taken care of. In the hands of certain people, they can be. Yes, mine is scared to death of other dogs....I know this and she goes NO WHERE that other animals are going to be at. She does not get to be left unattended at any time and if I am gone, she is crated. Have I had any problems...NO....but I don't take chances either.
OP....I am so sorry that this happened to your dog and it should not have. You have every right to seek damages since they are responsible for it. Good luck and I hope your baby continues to improve. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
