Myth: Don't pit bulls kill children?
Fact: No, pit bulls ARE NOT killing machines! Pit bulls, are, in fact, are very loyal, non-vicious dogs. They were often known as "nanny dogs", because of their loyalty to the children of their house. In fact, in one temperament test in 2002, pit bulls ranked in the 82nd percentile, amazingly high for any dog. They were placed above Golden Retrievers and Labradors, which are common family dogs. They often sit by children's beds or desks, watching over them and protecting them. Pit bulls only become vicious towards children when something is seriously wrong with them or they have been mistreated in the past.

Myth of the Week
Myth: Isn't it true that pit bulls account for more dog attacks than any other breed?
Fact: No! This is one of the most common perceptions about the pit bull, and it is a myth. The truth is that pits are no more dangerous than the next breed of dog--actually, it is just as dangerous as the Number One family dog of 2012, the Labrador Retriever. In fact, pits match Labradors in size and strength, yet outdid them in temperament--so who's to say that Labradors are actually the more dangerous dog?
The media often portrays faux statistics or "selectively" reports dog attacks--meaning that they often select the attacks that involve pit bulls to show on the nightly news because they make the biggest splash! This leads to many peoples' (mislead) notion that pit bulls account for over 50% of dog attacks and bites in the country.
