Narrow Escape (Pit Bull)

I think something that needs to be addressed along with types of dogs and mixes, is types of bites. Lil Mexican doggies tend to snap and bark and keep trying to dive bomb your ankles. An opportunist. I knew of a few Lab bites that were quick snaps, and they retreated and growled when they saw the person back up and not be a threat. Maybe the issue is the Pit (or mixed Pits) make the decision to attack, and then don't retreat after an initial snap bite. They do seem to be relentless when they make the decision to strike. Literally hanging on until beaten with 2x4's or whatever. Coming across a Copperhead will likely result in a strike attempt when laying still doesn't work. A Mamba, particularly a Black, will have a different result. Usually it will be aggressive, attack, bite multiple times, and will even chase you. Your odds are not good of meeting one up close and living to tell about it. Ball Pythons were the least aggressive snake I ever owned. When the Insurance Institutes compile the list of dogs that bite, does it break down the data even further to show you of the dog breeds that bite most, how many result in death? How Many Chihuahua and Lab bites result in death and how many result in stitches and a tetanus shot?
