Don't apologize for reporting any attack, whatever the breed or type of dog. Turning a blind eye won't help any dog or its breed or type of dog. Fact is, when you Google dog bites, attacks, maimings and deaths, you readily see that most organizations and statistics listings state that pitbulls do the most physical damage and more of the human victims die due to their dire wounds. I haven't looked up the pits' dog-to-dog morbidity and mortality rates but the pitbull, with its huge bite radius, amazingly high PSI crushing bite and fierce determined bully instinct to sustain an attack until the prey stops moving, almost always seems to top the most dangerous of dog types at the moment, especially statistics from this country.

The pitbull usually outlasts all other breeds in the fight pit and is considered the best dog in any dog fight. And what's worse, the dogfighter owners breed the most aggressive and vicious to another of the same temperament but not all of the puppies are kept for fighting. Some of those pups, with the very same fighting genes, are traded, gifted, sold to the public or eventually find their way into the pet domain!

And the attitude that many pitbulls owners have that their "sweet baby" could never go rogue and attack anyone or anything is usually right; but when it's not - and any fighting genes that the dog might have in its DNA drive its prey drive to attack and bring down their prey - serious injury or death all too often result. One day when the gangs, drugs lords and toughs tire of owning "badass" dogs, rappers stop glorifying the vicious ones, dogfighting loses its cool and fighters are no longer bred to each other, the pitbull may lose its bad reputation and return to the sweet pet it used to be before the late 80's.
