According to Animal Care Services, there have been more than 3,000 bite cases related to dogs in the past year.
Over a hundred of the bites were not by pit bulls, but by a dog breed that looks like them. Canine experts say it’s not the breed but their owners that determine each dog’s future.
That’s because Goose spent the beginning of his life unloved and uncared for. In January, he was found with two of his siblings in an abandoned apartment unit in Balcones Heights. Neighbors say he was living in horrid conditions for at least a week with no food or water. "I like dogs like Goose because our household is calm and quiet and it gives him a chance to settle in," says Shiflet.
In fact, the American Kennel Club does not recognize 'pit bull' as a specific breed, but rather a generalizing term. Simply because there isn’t a breed called pit bull; rather many dogs that fit the physical traits associated with pit bulls such as almond shaped eyes, a muscular neck, and a broad chest.The issue of dangerous dogs, dog bites and public safety is a complex one. Any dog can bite, regardless of its breed.
