Isn't it interesting(and yes, I am being sarcastic)that in news media reports, EVERY dog that does anything bad automatically becomes a "Pit Bull"? NZ has BSL in effect, based on Great Britain's infamous Dangerous Dogs Act, which means that Pit Bulls are banned there, yet inevitably, every dog that bites or hurts another living thing is still a "Pit Bull", or any dog that is running at large is a "Pit Bull" that's going after someone. I would bet, that like here in the US, a significant proportion of these dogs that are reported as Pit Bulls don't even remotely look like one, but headlines like "Two Mutts Kill Terrier" don't grab attention spans or sell papers. It's ashame about the terrier, but I'd bet if HE had been a Pit Bull, and defended those kids against something or someone else, the papers would not have dared to report about it.
