Pit bulls are illegal in the UK, and have already killed at least 2 children this year. 'Biting' can be pretty broadly defined from a harmless little nip, to eating your face off, so pit bulls not being in the top 20 says very little about their kindliness or otherwise. I was savaged by an alsatian when I was a child, and it was put down as a result, so I have little faith in their kindliness either. Also, given that dogs like labradors are immensely popular there's bound to be some statistical probability of more labrador bites than pit bull bites. If there were as many pit bulls running around as there are labradors I would expect the sales of tinned dog food to plummet, and the streets, parks & playgrounds to be rapidly culled of small children.
