I agree that it's often the person who buys a pitbull is looking for a "dangerous" dog, and does not train them to be friendly with people. The pitbull that attacked me was friendly, but I went to pet him (did the whole hold your fist out for him to smell), and he latched onto my wrist. Had no time to pull back, or anything, and my natural reaction was to kick it as hard as I could, because he wasn't letting go. After kicking it once, he released, and I kicked it again, and pulled myself back into the house and slammed the door (leaving him outside). Girlfriend at the time yelled at me for kicking her dog, completely ignoring the fact that I was bleeding profusely from my wrist. We broke up shortly after.
People who get pitbulls (dogs in general) as a pet should realize what they're getting themselves into. I do feel when a dog attacks someone the owner of that pet should be ready to take full responsibility of what happens.
