I own a dog, he's half border collie, half great pyrenees. He's a lovable doofus who barks too much for my liking but isn't aggressive to people at all; but if I didn't realize the potential of harm that he represents on the wrong day or the wrong person, I'd be a ****ing idiot.
If someone's dog isn't on a leash in a public setting, whether it's 100 lbs or 20 lbs, they're a moron. I've seen a beagle rip at a woman's ankle before as she was trying to help an elderly woman with her car. I don't care what breed or how big their dog is, if they don't keep their dog on a leash in a public setting, they're being irresponsible.
They're animals. We've domesticated them and selectively bred them, but they are still animals at their core, carnivores that are designed by nature to eat other living things and defend themselves when they determine something is a threat.

66.9% of fatal dog attacks on humans are done by pitbulls.
That number is enlightening.
