I personally had a bad run in with a pitbull when I was younger. We owned a spinger spaniel and I was in the front lawn with her on a leash. The pit bull just ran over for no reason at all and began to viciously bite and attack the dog. I couldn't do anything else but scream, I was about 9 years old. My pregnant mom ran out and picked our Cleo up while neighbors ran out and started to kick the pitbull off. FINALLY the owner came out while his son who was out with the pit bull just stood and watched.
A few days later he attacked and killed the collie down the street. Luckily ours survived but needed stitches. They went to court and the pit was PTS.
I have a bull terrier, similar to but very different. Long long ago, back in the beginning of the breed they were bred with Staffordshire terriers, dalmations and a couple other breeds. These are dogs who can play rough, are hyper and need alot of training.
I don't know for sure if my bull terrier caused the death of my yorkie, almost two months ago. But it was very possible. I for sure now know and have made my whole family aware of the dangers of a larger dog and a small dog. My bullie girl is only around 40lbs and still very stocky and strong. For that being said, they can get along and be friends but you can trust them fully for accidents can AND will happen.
