A pitbull went after my dog, in a dog OBEDIENCE class.
All the owners were sitting in chairs with their dogs sitting in front of them, an empty chair was between me and my dog and the pitbull and his owner.
Out of the blue, for no reason any human could see, the pit just lunged at my dog's neck. They weren't doing the sideways stare-off or anything.
Fortunately the owner had a good hold on the leash. If it had been 6 inches longer my dog would probably be dead.
I try to cut them some slack, but they're so strong that if they do ever go off, it's really bad. After that I don't trust them.
