influences...

Two days ago we had a dog bite in Israel, A German Sheperd attacked a two year old boy while he entered the yard.

one of the "news" web site, wrote the article down, and attached a photo, guess of what kind of breed?

you are correct a Pit/Amstaff - or something else with a huge jaw.
in the comments below the photo they added:
"in the photo: A DOG "

we wrote to the site and they removed the photo.

amazing.

Good for you for writing to them! I've done that before when one of our local news stations were reporting a dog attack and the graphic they used as they led into the video was a snarling pit bull.

The actual dog which attacked someone was a chow mix.

Personally, I find this akin to using a graphic of a black man in prison garb when the story is about a white man who robs a bank.

Breedism...same as racism.
