Also, are pit bulls naturally aggressive? In general, pit bulls aren't aggressive with people but are “less tolerant” of other dogs than many other breeds, says Pamela Reid, PhD, vice president of the ASPCA's Animal Behavior Center in New York. They are very strong, athletic animals," Reid says. Owning a pit bull should not be taken lightly.
Accordingly, what breed of dog is most likely to attack a child?

They are a dangerous breed, and blaming owners alone for vicious attacks by pit bulls does a disservice to public safety. Pit bulls account for the vast majority of fatal dog attacks, causing 71 percent of fatalities between 2011 and 2017, according to the victims group, DogsBite.org.
