No surprise, but the dogs were pitfall type dogs.

An autopsy has confirmed the dog which killed a teenage girl in a fatal attack was an XL Bully.

It's become a no win situation for the breed. There are an abundance of Pits in my area and personally, the ones I have encountered have been some of the sweetest dogs you could imagine. But then I also have direct accounts of unwarranted attacks on people for no overt reason whatsoever. From pits that do not have a history of bad owners training them to be mean. A girl I dated, a nurse practitioner, has a permanent scar on her lip as she was sitting at the kitchen table with friends who owned one and out of nowhere it jumped on her and bit a big chunk of her lip right off. 4 plastic surgeries later it is still painfully obvious to see she had some sort of trauma to her mouth and the owners , who were good friends of hers, are now persona non grata, as they promised to cover all her medical expenses and they didn't contribute a dime in the end.

Just sterilize the breed already. Any dog can have a bad day, but when these dogs have a bad day, it can go very bad, very quickly.
-
They are bred to be what they are and can be made by their owners to be even more aggressive.

Kind of surprised we don't do that to convicted rapists and pedofiles. Stop the possibilty of repeat offending.
