Last year one of the guys my husband works with moved in to the townhouse next to us. They had a female Pitt who was, as they said, "a little nippy" (!). Anyway, one afternoon I hooked my 6 lb Mini Pinscher up ON HIS RUN and the neighbors dog mauled him. I have never been so scared, and pissed off at the same time. I rushed my little guy to the Vet and by the grace of God, he is fine. I'll spare you the details, but the Vet said that there was no way that the Pitt was "playing"; it was going for the kill.
We had two young children (now we have 3) and my husband demanded that they get rid of the dog or we would press charges. It caused hard feelings. So be it. If you have an aggressive dog and can't control it, at the very least, please keep it on a leash.
I am not a fan of Pitt Bulls after that, but I can't believe that they are ALL dangerous. I think most of the behavior stems from how they are raised. I'd be a liar if I said that I am comfortable around them though.
