not a good place to be; if the pit injures or kills someone, the victim's family can sue the pit bull owner and the insurance company won't pay a dime. then, it's time for wage garnishments, asset seizure, etc etc.

I'll never forget the conversation I had with one woman who had 127 stitches in one leg over a pit bull incident. She had known the dog for seven years and had never had a problem. She told me the dog had NEVER acted violently towards anyone. The dog's owner went on vacation and had asked her to feed the dog. Days 1 - 3, she put the food bowl down, patted the dog on the head and the dog wagged his tail and began to eat. Day 4 was an entirely different story; she put the bowl down, patted the dog on the head and then turned to leave. She took five steps and heard the dog coming for her. A scary animal, especially if there are children involved.
