ShadowAmicus comments on May 26, 2019:

If a dog attacks or bites there is always a reason - and I have plenty of scars from bites. The commonest reasons are dominance and fear. Dominance: everything a dog does is about pack hierarchy - dogs never play fight - they test each others strength and fitness the more dominant showing it is still stronger. In a dogs eyes, humans are part of their pack and usually the human takes the role of pack leader - some people do not easily adopt that role and the dog feels it has to take charge to 'look after you because you are weak' simple indicators are pushing through doors first, taking control of a chair, etc. It could easily be that lady had a drink, or took drugs, maybe hours earlier .. but enough effect for that dog to decide it had the chance to gain dominance .. Pit bulls are not toy dogs, they need careful control by someone who knows what they are doing and can read the signs.... getting it wrong can and does prove fatal.... but any dog over 40kg (90lb) will always easily kill a human if it so desires...few do Fear; unlikely in this case. A fearful dog - tail tucked under, hind quarters lowered, looking away, are all signs of fear - leave the dog alone. If you want to gain its confidence, get a magazine, sit on the floor a few feet away and read aloud. The dog will eventually decide you are not a hreat, will relax and eventually come to you - give it time - then dont be stupid and grab its neck, rub its head or anyhing more than put your hand on the floor to be sniffed. Win confidence you have a friend.....approach too quickly, particularly if you force it into a corner, it may bite...a fearful dog will move away from you if it can..
