Pit bull owners typically describe their dogs as loving and faithful pets, and most probably are. But pit bulls are also one of the most dangerous dog breeds (if not the most dangerous), responsible for more deadly and serious attacks against children than any other breed. Here are some of the stories:

Pit Bulls Attacking People

  • In Mystic, Connecticut, a woman settled with a pet-friendly hotel for $300,000 after she was attacked by a pit bull during her stay there. She suffered disfigurements and now has only limited use of her right arm. (USA Today, 2-13-2017, 4A)

Stories of Pit Bulls Attacking Children

  • In Atlanta, Georgia, police arrested the owner of two pit bulls that mauled one child to death and seriously injured another. The children were walking to the bus stop on Tuesday when the animals attacked them. (USA Today, 1-20-2017, p4A)
