While I don't dispute that a badly raised pit bull can be lethal, I feel compelled to note that the ones I know are giant pussies, and think they are lap dogs. I have friends who have a pair, and while they bark ferociously at *any* person who comes in, they then attack immediately thereafter...with tongues, threatening to lick the flesh from your bones. There is also the danger of being knocked over when they come butting their heads into you for attention, or leap up to place their paws on your shoulders to lick your face...barking all the while. They are not well-trained, but they are also not dangerous.
