i used to have a pitbull and he was one of the sweetest creatures who ever lived. it's sad that the boy died and people who do not take care of children and pets well should be held responsible. it's also sad that the image of this beautiful breed of dogs is tarnished further because of stupid people.

if people raise pets in a humane way, they will not behave like wild animals to humans around them. however, we should still keep in mind that they are animals after all and should be very cautious when children are around.
