Didn't you leave out "working dogs" like seeing eye dogs for the blind?

I don't think I've ever seen a pit bull type dog used as seeing eye dogs or too many other categories of working dogs. Am I wrong?

I also think that animal control services in most cities know the difference between a pit bull type dog and other breeds of dogs. Animal control is usually involved in these incidents prior to their being reported in the media.

According to a 27-year study of dogs in the New York City area made by Dr. Robert Oleson, of the U.S. Public Health Service, these are the 9 dogs most apt to take a nibble out of a human being. They are, in the order of their aggressiveness:

New York City is very close to banning pit bull ownership. There is a bill currently in the New York City Council that would ban ownership of these types of dogs.

I'm not saying I agree with it. The NYC Council is loaded with an assortment of kooks that want to ban all sorts of things.

I think there may have been restrictions on pit bull ownership enacted in the Bronx and Queens counties within the last year or so.

These dogs are favorites of drug dealers and all other types of vermin here in New York.

I think you may have missed the CDC report that claims pit bull type dogs are responsible for a third of all human deaths caused by dog attacks.
