I can't open the link, but any dog can get aggressive. Pitbulls are just well known to be trained for agression. Every pitbull I have met is quite nice.

However, any dog can be aggressive, not just pit bulls.

Any dog can attack, but some are capable of doing more damage than others. There was a woman in the US recently who was attacked by pitbulls. She's lost limbs. I think she's still alive. Mom who lost arms after pit bull attack won’t be able to get prosthetics: sister

This story is not unique. What would be useful is a study that corrects instances of attacks by breed for popularity. One area of my city has tons of pitbulls. I don't blame them; if I lived there, I'd want one too.

I've been attacked several times by dogs over my lifetime; my one almost-attack was, in fact, my neighbors' pitbull behind my back. My cat stood her ground & sent him packing while I was catching on.

Most people aren't honest with themselves about the kind of dog they're suited to raise. I know. I just went through the process. It's sobering to realize most of canine kind is beyond your skill and/ or personality. If more people were honest, there would be fewer such instances. But I don't think it helps to minimize the responsibility of owning certain breeds of dog.

I don't think this was meant to go down the path of whether or not pitbulls are aggressive. It was supposed to be a tongue in cheek way of showing off a funny/sweet video of her baby :heart: So perhaps if it is a discussion you guys want to have, another thread might be more appropriate so @Catherine89 can show off her dog without feeling ganged up on?

Does your pit like to swim? My girl loved swimming in the tank. No matter the weather.
