My son-in-law's pit bull, "Chomper", used to lie on the entranceway of their
tape rental store.....If a customer stepped on him by mistake, he would yelp
and go and move a few more inches into the store......Not exactly a killer
watchdog..........

Most domesticated dogs are not vicious in any manner. Pit bulls are no
exception. The ones that kill and main people are dogs that have been
purposely abused to be "tough" and largely left unattended.

The only concern you would have to have with a pit bull is if it should
happen to become frightened/angry/aggressive and attack someone or
something. Genetics takes over at some point and the dog will do what
it's programmed to do: bite down hard on the throat and not let go.

Yes, and dogs are much more likely to do this if they are running with other
dogs. Packs of domesticated dogs will frequently revert to their instinctive
tendency to hunt down and kill prey. Generally, a lone dog that has been
raised with people will remain perfectly safe during its whole life, no
matter what the breed.
