Certainly there are others that have higher pass ratings than pit bulls, but there are many, many, that fall short of them. I'm not a dog person. I will probably never own a dog. However, I don't find it fair to see an animal maligned due to media hype. Pit Bulls aren't the problem, it's ******* owners that turn them into aggressive fighting machines.
That was an interesting site, although I don't know how well I could recover from the, Subtest 4: Gunshots and the Umbrella tests.
