Not sure what the "pit bull dog" has anything to do with this (other than being off (sort of) leash)...

Yes, there is media exploitation of pit bulls in the way they report attacks, but let's face it. A pit bull not being controlled by its owner who appears to be unstable is not a picture of safety in my opinion. I have been charged several times on the trail by unleashed dogs. A hiker in my hiking group in Florida was recently bitten by a pit bull on a leash but obviously not under control by the owner. On this forum in the last week, a hiker reported a dog bit him on the AT. So, yeah, the dog is relevant in my opinion.
