Why is it always them dang bassets hounds?
When a Basset Hound goes bad, there might be a bite followed by a retreat, not a determined attack.
As a percentage of their numbers, all factors being equal,
Pitbulls are less likely than the vast majority of breeds to inappropriately attack a human being. When they do decide to attack, however, they do so with great determination (surpassing any other breed) and very effectively, thus the more severe consequences to the victims.
