Although I have personally seen the aftermath of a golden retriever biting half a 7 year olds face off. Now The dog was old and going blind, but seeing a child with their eye hanging out of their socket is something I will never forget.
My kids don't trust any dogs.
Hell, they don't trust most humans.

Pit Bulls are disasters just waiting to happen. And sooner or later the kid will get his face bitten off.
Yes, the breed is a therapy dog, when Pit Bulls attack you will need extensive medical therapy, that is if you live through the attack.
Here are photos of Pit Bull attacks that were not exactly working for kids, but tearing them up.

U.S. fatal pit bull attacks have surpassed 285 since 1998; the last year the CDC studied fatal dog attack data by breed. In the last 8-year period of the CDC study (1991 to 1998), pit bulls averaged nearly 3 deaths per year. From 2008 to 2015, the most recent 8-year period, pit bulls averaged 22 deaths per year, a 633% increase.
Here is just one of thousands of photos of a so called therapy Pit Bull that "worked" with a kid.

AN ARTICLE IN JADA (JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION) IN 2001 HAS THE ADMISSION THAT FLUORIDE SWALLOWED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE TEETH IS "INSUFFICIENT TO HAVE A MEASURABLE EFFECT" ON REDUCING CAVITIES."
THE NOW CORRUPTED MEDIA MANIPULATES BY USING ORWELLIAN NEWSPEAK. In Orwell's words, Newspeak was "designed to diminish the range of thought." Newspeak seeks to eliminate or alter certain words that do not fit the media's ideological agenda. In Orwell's novel 1984 Newspeak is a way of controlling the people's language in order to keep the peons under ideological control.Newspeak is deceptive and deceitful as it stifles free speech and only allows only certain approved words, phrases and ideas to be used while other words are forbidden.
Fauci's "Gain of Function" is newspeak for enhancing the contagiousness of a virus for use as a biological weapon in war. It was dumb, stupid and a threat to national security for the US government with Fauci's blessing to help fund biological weapons enhancement in an arch enemy's country. When Fauci used and pushed the euphemistic misnomer deceptive term "gain of function" the con was on.
"Gain of Function" newspeak for "Viral Biological Warfare Weapons Enhancement".
"Undocumented Immigrant" newspeak for "illegal alien".
"Progressive" newspeak for "Marxist".
"Dreamers" newspeak for "illegal aliens".
"Immigration Reform" newspeak for "illegal alien amnesty".
"Xenophobia" newspeak for those that want border security.
"Gun control" newspeak for "confiscate your guns".
"Pro-choice" newspeak for "pro-abortion".
"Math is racist" newspeak for "we are too lazy to learn math".
"Critical Race Theory" newspeak for "Reverse Discrimination Marxism".
When a snake oil salesman knows that the snake oil does not sell with the accurate name he simply changes the name to the NEWSPEAK euphemistic misnomer "Magic Medicinal Elixir" to sell his misrepresented product otherwise not sellable.
Who cares?
So what you do if your neighbors dog did that to your kid?
They would have to get another dog.
I like what you wrote...it does make sense...
I was out walking my black Lab off leash one day in my neighborhood. The lab would never go more than 20 feet from me off leash and always come straight to me when called. My Golden was on leash since he thought running the neighborhood and have me chase him was a game.
I saw a police car turn into the neighborhood and a police officer drives up and gets out. He pets the dogs and ask if I had seen a pitbull running loose. I said no, just me and my dogs out walking.
My guess was, one of the ladies saw my Lab running around and mistook him for a pitbull. I thought it was funny
I am waiting on them to start importing Russian Ovcharkas, those beasts will be dangerous in the hands of a bad owner.
I do agree, it is the owner and how they raise the dog. There are a couple of breeds I like a lot, but know I do not have the time it would take to work with the dog to properly socialize him. I am even waiting on getting my next dog right now due to working too much and I do not think I could invest the time in a dog currently. When I retire in a few years, likely get a German Shepard or another lab. Will look at rescue dogs and see what picks me.

I am just here for my amusement.
And that's just some of the absolutely idiotic saying that come out of dog owners mouths when "they".....the dog...acts like he wants to tear a chunk out of you.
The next door neighbor comes over to drink a beer and brings his growling dog over with him...and then comes the excuses....you tell him to get his dog off your property and he doesn't talk to you for three years until that dog dies....then he comes over with a big friendly dog that takes a dump in three places and pizzes about 12 times and the owner calls one "fertilizer" and the impending brown spots ..."marking his territory"....which is my territory that I pay a lawn man great amounts of money to make look tremendous.
....and once again...he get's a case of the **** when I protest the damage his dog is doing...mumbles something stupid as he swills down the last of his free beer and takes his dog and leaves......and to make sure that I never see this moron ever again I have my landscape artist create a separate bill for payment to repair the dog damage which I send to said freeloading neighbor with a note to pay within 30 days.....
I have never seen the money or "Thirsty" ever again....good riddance....
"IF" I go to someone's house and they have a less than hospitable dog....I simply leave.....as they obviously know what their dog does and are "OK" with that vicious lump of worthless meat and teeth harassing people.
I will also not go back...ever...and should they invite me I will tell them why I won't go on their property...which always seems to bring out the excuses and sometimes accusations as I mist have dome something to get their dog to charge and growl....even though the best in question did the same thing to many people.
I carry a concealed weapon as many do here....I "DO NOT" pull that pistol out and yell and scream at people in a threatening manner.....so why should a dog not be expected to act in the same manner?
Obviously if I did....either someone would shoot me....and rightfully so......or the police should kick my **** and take me in front of a Judge so he could finish the job ....so why doesn't a visibly hostile dog and it's owner get the same treatment?
And I do mean from the first time it does so....
People who have a problem with this...society should have a problem with them....
I AM NOT A RACIST
Most people think Staffordshire Terrier's are cute and gentle, but pit bulls are mean. :huh
Your whole post tell the story of the breed, or lack there of training in my opinion. I still say, you get one and train it well, it will be fine. If you get one and dont train it at all, chances are 80% it could do anything. In the middle, a bought Pitt by someone who thinks it is funny to sickum, or pull on ropes, hang from trees and never socializes the dog, even tho they treat it good. That dog could possible kill another dog in 10 seconds... 98% of dogs would never do that. A pitt would...
Doesn't mean I dislike them or think they are all killers, but i do believe 95% of them have killer in them and it has to be trained out. And Bandit, no, not the show dogs, i am talking about the ones that are bred and passed off as Kerr / Pitt, Pitt, and sell for 300 bucks all day long on the web...
I am a dog lover too, love showing my Dobes, etc... I have a hard time believing that you can't see the difference... It is almost as if you compare them equal to a poodle, fox hound, Shiztu, Marmaduke... They are just way more killer... I also have a hard time with your #4, we are not talking about Staffordshire, or even AKC Pitts, just like the Doberman that has been bred to be BIG, or ROtty, same thing, people are out there breeding Pitts to Pitt or protect. They are far and away seen, not just interpreted, but any educated person can tell, what we know as a Pitt, I dont care if it is 30 lbs, or 60 lbs... Many of these dogs only need 50% in them to be OVERLY aggressive and not RIPPERS, but killers... It isn't a news reporter that calls all dogs pitts, but the look of that dog, anything close to it, or inbred to it, it gets that call and rightfully so. Just another Opinion. I do understand yours...
If I were to look at 10 dogs and one looked anything like a pitt, and they all growled at me, same time, I would only worry about that one animal. That is the experiences I have had with them, and them only.
I remember the one show lady telling me, I know exactly what you are talking about, but to protect the OTHER dogs, we need to take a hard stance for the pitt, no matter how hard some are destroying the breed.
Statistical information gathered by DogsBite.org is verifiable1 through collected news reports. Our Fatality Citations section documents each source used in our dog bite-related fatality research.
2015 dog bite fatality statistics
34 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2015. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 700 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 82% (28) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 6.6% of the total U.S. dog population.2
Together, pit bulls (28) and rottweilers (3), the second most lethal dog breed, accounted for 91% of the total recorded deaths in 2015. This same combination also accounted for 76% of all fatal attacks during the 11-year period of 2005 to 2015.
The breakdown between these two breeds is substantial over this 11-year period. From 2005 to 2015, pit bulls killed 232 Americans, about one citizen every 17 days, versus rottweilers, which killed 41, about one citizen every 98 days.
In the year of 2015, the combination of pit bulls (28), their close cousins, American bulldogs (2), and rottweilers (3) contributed to 97% (33) of all dog bite-related fatalities. Both American bulldog fatalities occurred in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Annual data from 2015 shows that 41% (14) of the fatality victims were children ages 9-years and younger, and 59% (20) were adults, ages 22-years and older. Of the total adults killed by canines in 2015, 65% (13) were ages 60-years and older.
Annual data shows that when combining all age groups, male victims (20) were greater in number than female victims (14). Amongst children ages 9-years and younger, males were excessively victims 79% (11), versus females 21% (3).
In 2015, nearly one third, 32% (11), of all dog bite fatality victims were either visiting or living temporarily with the dog's owner when the fatal attack occurred. Children ages 9-years and younger accounted for 82% (9) of these deaths.
50% (17) of all fatalities in 2015 involved more than one dog; 15% (5) involved a pack attack of four or more dogs; 21% (7) involved breeding on the dog owner's property either actively or in the recent past and 6% (2) involved tethered dogs.
In 2015, 9% (3) of all fatal attacks were inflicted by dogs rehomed by shelters or rescues. County operated shelters in Buncombe County, North Carolina and Madison County, Tennessee each adopted out a dog that fatally attacked a person.
Dog ownership information for 2015 shows that non-family dogs inflicted the majority of dog bite fatalities, 59% (20), up 12% from the 10-year average of 47%. Over two-thirds of all deaths, 71% (24), occurred on the dog owner's property.
In 2015, only 9% (3) of attacks causing death resulted in meaningful criminal charges; the lowest level in the last 11-years.3 2015 also marked the first time a medical examiner ruled "suicide" as manner of death in a fatal dog attack.
Texas once again led all states in lethal dog attacks in 2015 with 5 deaths. Florida and Oklahoma each followed incurring 3 deaths. Arkansas, California, Michigan, New York, North Carolina and West Virginia each followed with 2 deaths.
The solution is simple...
Hang the dog.....and next to him......the dogs owner....
I do not believe in hitting dumb beasts....and he was no exception....but I am the only one he would listen to when he got spun up.
He really loved the bride, but if she took him for a walk and another dog came around ...he would drag her on the ground until she was hamburger. I finally bought a metal collar with tines that would dig in and eventually choke him out should he decide to take off. He still drug the bride on the ground until I bought a horse lunge line and told her to wrap it around a tree if he does he "stuff".
She did and that spawn of the devil choked himself till he passed out...she called the house frantically and asked me how to make him wake up....I told her to kick start him and he woke up....just to choke himself out again....which made her call me to come get him.
When I woke him up....he was "Daddy's Li'l Angel"...giving up all thoughts of murdering an old springer spaniel that was a truly sweet dog...... and I walked him home.
Eventually he got real sick and I put him down......and I can honestly say that I was glad the day he died. He just couldn't be trusted.
All of the obvious child mauling aside.....
Go to the richest part of your town...notice the dogs they own.
Go to the dirty, crime filled part of town...notice the dogs they own.
Which one is closer to your pet?
I buy homes for use as rental properties. If I notice a Pit on the block of a house I am interested in buying, I move on. I have no interest in dealing with someone would like to live there. Either as a neighbor of my tenant or as a tenant.
The OP had no obligation to cater to that ****** dog's feelings.
Dog's are far below all humans on the dominance scale.
**** that ****** ****.
My Cattle Dog Rowdy was taken sheep herding at 4 months old. Had never laid eyes on a sheep. Lucky? Instinctive-you bet.
