So Townie... I loved the human interested blub you linked me to, and I'm sure many other dogs have done admirable things for humans over the last 5 years, but in my search for more information, here are some results from a joint US/Canada study covering "the subject" from late 1982 through December 31, 2014. I hope that the recentness and relevancy of this data doesn't disappoint you, but give it a try...

And because I don't honestly expect you to understand it - even if you are somehow able to read it - here's a individual serving size for you with the math already done. Validate it with the data in the article if you'd like:
- In 2014 there were (42) dog bite-related fatalities that occurred.
- Pit bulls make up about 6% of the total dog population in the United States.
- Despite the fact that they are highly regulated in major cities and in military housing, (27) of those deaths were attributed to pit bulls. This was in 2014 alone; the year that just ended.
- So to recap, a dog breed that accounted for 6% of the total US dog population last year, was responsible for 64% of all US dog-bite related fatalities. 27 of 42.
So yeah... while your tiny brain soaks that up, I'll wait so you can find me the 81 stories from 2014 (27 x 3) where a pit-bull "saved" somebody, instead of.. you know... "hurting" them... er... "killing" them. And to think someone like you, feels comfortable calling me ignorant...
Fuckin' moron.
