Considering all the many breeds of dogs without the killer instinct, why the insistence on owning a dog that requires its own shrink to keep it from attacking? I'm starting to think it's a "Look at me; I own a pit bull and you can't stop me. I'm such a groovy renegade." It would be interesting to tally up the unprovoked attacks and a list of the maimed. Go for a walk or to a street fair and count the number of pit bulls on leashes in comparison to other breeds. There seems a strange obsession to prove a "sweetness" factor that just isn't there. People who brag about keeping these dogs around their babies are just asking for the chewed-off toes we read about not long ago.
