Tim, Patton's dog was a bull terrier, a completely different breed. The breed of dogs that killed that woman were not pitbulls they were Canary Pressarios (sp?)bred purposely for size and aggression toward humans and other animals--much bigger and even more unpredictable than pitbulls. Shar Peis and Chow Chows are notoriously aggressive as well. Purebreds of all kinds and the community both suffer because of indiscriminate breeders and irresponsible owners. Did you know that Labradors, especially black ones--are some of the most common dogs in shelters? They are the mutt of this decade. Jack Russells rank up there with pitbulls when it comes to their numbers in shelters. People pay hundreds heck even thhousand of dollars for a dog and at the first sign of trouble toss them out like trash. The community pays the bill. Maybe a community organizer could help.
