Sorry for your loss, but the dogs are not to blame. Actually pit bulls and staffordshires' and American Bulldogs are the most people friendly dogs. They do not bite out of fear or anger like many other dogs. We just gota Yorkie who has snapped at our pit bull on several ocassions, but she is trained enough to know to snap back. Pit bulls and Staffys or AmStaffs have a very high prey drive towards other animals because that's how they were bred just like many other dogs have their own personal genetics. Why would someone want to own a dog who was bred to kill other animals, well that's not the case. The breed is very gentle and naturally spoiled when in the right hands which I can't say it isn't always the case nowadays. I have owned many pit bulls and they all were dog park friendly because I wanted them to be and trained them to be, so you see, many owners of such dogs do not want their dogs to be animal friendly and to be honest I'm not wanting mine to be anymore especially with this new dog we got, he is the biggest fear biter I ever experienced. If he bites my pit one more time, he's outta here.
