Well, yes. Common sense would. E that a bite of a tiny is indeed no comparison
to that of a Pit or any large breed. Sorry to hear of your son's experience.
What exactly triggered that bite while being handled?
Unfortunate situation. I guess people who have endured a bad experience with a
particular breed, would have a hard time being convinced that not ALL dogs of
that breed are bad. The whole situation is sad, and the fault still lies in
the hands of the humans.
