I agree that it is a good thing. My little sister was bit when she was 7 years old. All she was doing was riding her bike outside infront of our house.
A couple months ago our neighbor (we share a yard in a duplex) was babysitting her brother's pitt bull mix. The dog was a family dog, they have 3 girls and have raised it since it was a puppy. So I know the dog isn't raised to be agressive, some people say it is how it's raised. It had even been to our house and played with our pug a few times. Anyways, I feed my dogs outside in the morning and I shut the gate leaving the pittbull in the front of the yard and my dogs in the back. When I put the dog food in the bowl I noticed the Pitt bull growing from the fence in the front yard. I kind of figured that some dogs growl when food is around. But I still didn't trust her completely after I heard that growl and made sure to keep the dogs seperated. They ate their food and everything was fine.
The next evening I had Brandy in my arms and I was about to take her to the vet, I was in the front yard about to leave and my husband was in the house. The neighbor's son left the back gate open as he walked through to move some trashcans and then the pitt bull jumped on my pug and started biting him. She left some really nasty bloody bites. They are both fixed. I still can't figure out why she snapped out of nowhere they used to play together, but I hear it happens with them. I don't trust them and I never will. I just think that there is something not wired right in their heads. I get scared whenever I see one and I worry about my son and my dogs around them. They have the capability to not just bite, but kill. And to me that makes them dangerous.
