My 30 pound dog was attacked by three unleashed pit bulls

146. That's right, there's a lot of confusion about dog "types".

Am Staffs, like most other dogs, are show dogs - in this case derived from fighting stock. Like, way back when.

They look much like an American Pit Bull Terrier, but they're not the same animal at all.

No really bad-ass APBT would ever be let loose on the streets or nor will they ever even be seen by most people. They're way too valuable.

and yeah, Recursion, they're usually 35-50 lbs cause any bigger and they're too much effort to feed, clean up after, and to pick up in the ring during fights.

They tend to hate other dogs (and animals) but love to fight and usually love people too.

It was much better when those things were practically Top Secret. Once the public discovered they existed - it was bad for both parties.

Now, before you jump all over me, realize I'm no fan of dog fighting , I've just seen a lot of stuff in my life.

I'm sure glad your dog is going to be OK. I hope you are too.

Rest assured, those were not real Bulldogs, they just looked something like one.
