I avoid dogs with big heads and small eyes. My neighbor has two, and they are unleashed.

Bad dog owners, usually not the dogs.

I must disagree. Those dogs are dangerous. Read the statistics on dog bites.

Of course some breeds are over represented. Look who owns them. Look at why they own them and how they treat the dogs. Look at the dynamics of the community where the injuries occurred.

That does not make them less dangerous; I want nothing to do with them or even be around them.

I won't try to change anyone's opinions, as to each their own. I personally love pitties, and believe that with proper training and socialization they are great. I respect someone's opinion on not wanting to be around a dog they do not feel comfortable with, but I wish the breeds (plural, multiple breeds are considered under the "pit bull" umbrella) were not demonized.

Years ago they were known as the nanny dogs, as they were the ones you wanted to look after your kids, but nowadays the breeds get a bad rap, mostly due to their owners and the situations they're put in. And the media does not help, as a pit bull attack makes great news. A vicious chihuahua, not so much.

The brindle is Lexye, we rescued her a little over 8 years ago in Miami, FL. She is a mutt, but mostly pit bull mixes with some shepherd as well. Absolutely loves people, in her mind a stranger is simply a person who hasn't pet her yet.

The grey dog is Logan, we rescued him 2 years ago. A Staffordshire Terrior (one of the breeds considered a "pit bull") mix, loves other dogs but is very shy and skittish around people he doesn't know. While his first instinct if approached by a stranger would be to get low and run fast, if he felt cornered he could potentially bite...so we don't set him up for failure by letting strangers try to pet him. Loves to snuggle with people he knows though.
