I decided to stroll thru the dog kennels and I swear to god, at least half of them were pits or mixes. That says more about people than pits, 'cause most of the homies around here like pits (and tatoos) because of their aggressive reputation. Yep, driving around with shaved heads in an old truck with a pit in the back and "BOOM ta-ta BOOM ta-ta" from the stereo that can be heard five miles away. Fucking assholes.

... Anyway, there are other dogs at least as aggressive as pits, if not more so, and ALL of those breeds make poor choices as pets. Chows in particular are known to be snappy. Dobermans, German Shepherds, Great Danes, Rotweilers, and the "sled dogs". Cane Corso, There are a number of mastiff breeds which have been bred to be fighting or guard dogs, altho the two most comical and friendliest dogs I ever met were Bull Mastiffs.

Since "most aggressive" lists tend to be based on bite statistics, which partly depends on the number of dogs owned and the size of the dog, someone actually did a study on the temperament of the dog breed irrespective of level of ownership and size and found

Breeds with the greatest percentage of dogs exhibiting serious aggression (bites or bite attempts) toward humans included Dachshunds, Chihuahuas and Jack Russell Terriers (toward strangers and owners); Australian Cattle Dogs (toward strangers); and American Cocker Spaniels and Beagles (toward owners). More than 20% of Akitas, Jack Russell Terriers and Pit Bull Terriers were reported as displaying serious aggression toward unfamiliar dogs. Golden Retrievers, Labradors Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Brittany Spaniels, Greyhounds and Whippets were the least aggressive toward both humans and dogs. Among English Springer Spaniels, conformation-bred dogs were more aggressive to humans and dogs than field-bred dogs

So yeah, some small dogs, too, tend to be aggressive WAY beyond their size: they snap, growl, lunge and yap, but who the heck care? They're too small to do much damage.

"They are up here at Children's Hospital because of that dog," said Eric Fischer, the father of one of the victims. "Very traumatic. Everybody is crying in that room. It is such a terrible thing."

Fischer's 11-year-old daughter, Ariana, and her 11-year-old friend, Owen, are both recovering after the attack. Eric said his daughter and her friend were mauled by a loose pit bull mix in the Autumn Ridge neighborhood in Beaver County.
