Reply #340: What I'm saying is simple.

If a child cannot control an animal, it shouldn't be left with it. Ever. It's as stupid as leaving a child in a bathtub. The smaller the dog, the sooner a child can physically dominate it. It's doubtful a human could ever dominate some of those large, muscular breeds - so I would never, ever allow a child to be alone with it.

People who choose pit bulls, in my opinion, do it for the same reason people buy Hummers. They want to be in other people's face about it. "I've got the biggest, badass dog there is . What're you gonna do about it?" Stupid. I have little sympathy for them when tragedy strikes.
