I’m not automatically against pit bulls, despite stats involving dog bites. My friend’s pit is the best-trained dog I’ve met, and he has never so much as growled at any person or other dog. The pit bull my ex owns, however, has had two incidents in the past year.  The first incident involved my 5lb dog. His dog &amp; my dog both ate dinner &amp; there must have been a morsel on the floor bc suddenly he growled &amp; snapped &amp;, as my ex describes it, “put Lila’s head inside his mouth” but he didn’t bite bc there would’ve been puncture wounds. In the 2nd incident, my daughter’s 11-year-old friend came over. Normally he’d introduce his dog to new people, but he was in the bathroom&amp; I was taking a nap. My daughter opened the door (he had told her to wait until he was out of the bathroom &amp; she didn’t listen) &amp; his dog lunged at the little girl &amp; bit her hand. Her hand was bruised &amp; bleeding, she had to go to urgent care &amp; skip volleyball camp for a week. I understand that my daughter should’ve listened, but her not listening shouldn’t result in a kid’s hand being scarred. His dog is “insecure” and “just gets nervous,” but he’s also 75lb and in those rare moments he snaps, no one is in control of the situation but him. I’ve tried to be understanding of the fact that he has owned his rescue dog for almost 6 years, but his dog even jumped up and almost knocked me down when I came back from the birth certificate office 4 days after I gave birth, and he jumped up on the bed w my older daughter &amp; knocked the wind out of her. Yesterday the dog head butted my small dog &amp; made her cry again. He has no rules &amp; goes on the couch &amp; bed as he pleases. Cesar Chavez did training with him &amp; it didn’t help, so further training wouldn’t be helpful in my eyes.  Things are getting hairy with this conflict, but I just feel like I can’t risk my daughters’ safety further &amp; I couldn’t live with myself if that dog hurts or kills my newborn. My older daughter I’m not super worried about bc she doesn’t get in his face &amp; he knows her, but dogs snap on babies all the time.... Am I the asshole for implementing a no-pit-bull rule for my home &amp; refusing to have my newborn around the dog? If I am, is there a compromise I’m not seeing?
