Just emotional scarring eh? These are from a Jack Russel and a Springer Spaniel.

I'm not defending pitbulls - I don't believe them to have any redeeming qualities to be honest - I'm just pointing out that presuming any dog to be safe is folly. When I hear "my dog wouldn't hurt a fly" from the owner of a Lab, it's the exact same sentiment that got the pitbull owner into trouble, and the exact same sentiment, that if consciously avoided by all dog owners, could prevent hundreds of thousands of dog bites every single year.
