Tasing can work, you can actually see the dog light up 🙂
But a pity though, clearly the case of a good dog with bad owners.

Pitts are stupid and want to fight (kill).Rotts dont so wouldnt be a fight.How hard can this be?
American pit bull terriers have been bred since the second half of the 19th century, for fighting and other purposes, this breed was once considered a symbol of the United States, how come only since some time in the 1980s and 1990s did they get a reputation of this killer dog? Is it magic? Or are Campfire members succumbing to emotional canine hysteria?
The past is another country. Now that the dog breed is a favorite of joggers and other trash, the dog's behavior and reputation goes to heck. Sort of like America: more trash and jogger- and jogger-adjacent americans the more violent and nasty america gets.

0. I sure hope the OP's buddy recovers well. Hope OP can talk some self-defense sense into him, vis a vis firearms.
1. The APBTs I knew in my younger years were good dogs and did their job (catch dog) well.
2. No doubt they were generally more tough than your typical labrador. Some other breeds are more capable of killing an adult human, but APBT are more common and much cheaper to get than, say, Presa Canarios.
3. Then APBT became popular with urban joggers and the usual "give a [bleep] an AK47" results occur.
4. Would not seek one out as a pet. A healthy well-bred (as catch dog) male APBT is still in the 65-75lb range with some terrier characteristics. That is a whole lot of terrier and harder to manage than our inherited 15lb rat terrier.
5. If you really want a bully breed dog, the American Bulldog is a nice alternative. A bit bigger, but no terrier bred into them. The Scott line would be my choice, as I prefer the rangier build.

I was on craigslist a week ago ....could not believe the amount of black lab etc pit cross breeding....sob,s !
To be expected, two of the commonest breeds, one whose urban owners skew irresponsible. Same thing here: 80% of strays were APBT mixes of some sort. If there is one breed I would insist on raising form a pup, it is an APBT. Absolutely do not want an APBT with serious issues from abuse or some such.
