   ...then early on Easter morning, one of the neighbor's children wandered over to play with the cute chickies....

   Yes, that totally makes up for the savage attacks.

   Lupus and ted, you're both making awful judgments. It's all in how the dogs are raised.

   Humans are a thousand times more savage than pit bulls. More prone to violence and horrible acts.

   Pit bulls are actually some of the sweetest dogs around, it's merely bad owners that abuse the dogs that make them evil. They're suffering from the same stereotypes and bigotry that German Shepards, Doberman Pinchers and Rottweilers faced in the past decades.
   I'm so sick of these anti-pit bull stereotypes and all this breed specific legislation. Chow chows and chihuahuas have major mental problems are are much more likely to attack than any "scary" dog breed, but no one focuses on them because they aren't as strong.

   Punish the owners, not the dogs.

   My daughter and son-in-law have a pit bull who is the absolute sweetest dog ever, but I don't trust him one bit. No grandchildren yet, but I'm very VERY concerned.

   All it takes is one time.

   No, all it takes is ignorant people raising animals in a crappy environment. Are your kids responsible & treat their pets with respect? Fine, stop worrying.

   I've heard about children doing more horrific things than pets lately, and I don't see any calls to wantonly destroy THEM.

   Dangerous dog = bad upbringing + innate capability of destruction. It's not a coincidence that pit bulls are used as fighting dogs - they're darn strong and can inflict infinitely more damage than a chihuahua ...

   Those who say there are no bad dogs probably have never been attacked by one or witnessed a dog attack. Even a perfectly bred and trained dog will sometime attack other animals (if only to establish alpha rank).

   Let's be rational: when's the last time you heard of someone being mauled by a chihuahua? Now, how about pit bulls?

    I bet Chihuahuas bite more people than pitbulls Alex... they can be nippy little buggers!

    Yes, little dogs are nasty little buggers. But I'd rather be bit by a chihuahua than a pit bull.

    Aww, this reminds me of the Adventures of Milo and Otis.. I haven't seen that movie in forever. Now I'm going to have to go on a mission to find it!

    Kind of a misleading description. First the dog licked some eggs. Then some chicks, certainly not the ones from those eggs, are placed around his face. Hardly a "hatching."

    Any dog raised to fight will be mean tempered. Pit bulls are just the most commonly fought dogs, at least here in the US. I've seen many a pit that were perfectly well adjusted and never hurt a fly. They really are good-natured dogs. My friend had one that she raised from a puppy, and while it had amazing jaw strength (which it only used for tug-of-war), it also adopted a kitten which it raised. They were best friends (if you think that dogs are capable of friendship). I've never seen a chihuahua that I thought had anything close to a "friend". They may not be capable of much damage, but they tend to be mean as all hell.

    Stop railing against the dogs, and start realizing that the problem is the owners.

    Alex - A few years ago, a baby in my area was killed by a 4-pound Pomeranian that had never been socialized with children. I myself, working with dogs for years, have been bitten many times by dogs of all sizes and only ever required medical treatment for the Jack Russell bite (15 pound dog) that nearly lost me my hand. In contrast, the pit bull with the gangrenous leg and foot that was literally falling off only tried to push our hands away with his closed mouth after he slipped his muzzle while we were treating him.

    There's no way to tell. The most important factor is an individual dog's level of bite inhibition, which, whatever the media would have you believe, has very little to do with breed. Also consider that the most common victim of dog bites are children by an overwhelming margin, and the difference between a 20-lb dog and a 70-lb one becomes pretty insignificant. A collie is still stronger than a child, and a chihuahua can kill a baby just as dead as a pit bull could. The difference is that people, thanks to media bias, assume all pit bulls are ticking-time-bomb dangerous, and therefore all other dogs are safe, and parents don't worry about supervising their friendly poodle around the baby. After all, poodles don't attack, right?

    Oops. Okay, what about dachshunds? They're safe, right?

    I could go on for hours.

    I have to say I'm rather disappointed to see this entire discussion here. This is mental floss. I really expected a moderately educated response.

    In any case, it's an adorable video, and this sort of nurturing behavior is extremely common with bully breeds. There's a reason pits are called nanny dogs.

    Ha. Open virtual mouth, insert virtual foot. I meant that this is Neatorama - I followed the link from mental floss - but the sentiment still holds true.
