I am one of those that thinks any dog raised right is not a menace. The damn owners should be shot IMO as well. Hope the pup (Moms) came out alright.
Sorry, but the pit bull breed has a touch of schizophrenia. They've been known to snap for reasons totally unknown and attack anyone and everyone. Even highly trained ones have turned killer without reason and many people have paid the price, even their owners. I won't allow one on my property.
The same has been said about Dobermans, German Shepherds and Rottweilers at one point or another. Irresponsible breeding combined with even more irresponsible ownership can always result in deviations from the norm. Just my opinion.
