38 Dog Breeds That Pose the Greatest Danger Worldwide

2. Pit Bull

This breed results from combining the energy and agility of a terrier with the strength and build of a bulldog. Some experts believe the increase in pit bull attacks correlates with the breed’s growing popularity. Pit bulls were originally bred for fighting and often face mistreatment or confinement. However, with adequate care, this intelligent breed can be very social and playful. PETA has commented on fatal incidents involving pit bulls, noting that they often endure widespread abuse and neglect. This may explain why this breed frequently finds itself involved in serious injuries or fatalities.
