No word of a lie, a friend of mine had his ear nearly torn off by a pit bull when he was 12. I watched it happen.
We went to another kid's house and they had a pit bull as a family pet. I stayed outside the gate because I tend to be weary of them. My friend told me that it was ok and that he plays with the dog all the time. So there he goes leaning over ready to greet the dog as it came barreling out of his dog house and the friggen dog lunged at his face and started mauling him. The owner came running out and got the dog off him.
They gave us the same old song about how he was such a good and friendly dog, and he had never done anything like that before - which was probably true.
I have heard the same thing about cocker spaniels. They can be nice and friendly their whole lives and then suddenly get the urge to attack for reasons we can't understand.
