Pitbulls remain the most dangerous dog breeds around, there are tons of breeds for people to choose yet for some reason we still see people with kids go out of their way to get one. There is a reason there are so many of them in dog shelters.
Sure maybe your pitbull likes you but as someone who used to work in a family run dog watching business when I was younger, I can assure you that we got more than a few dogs that got very aggressive the second their owners walked out the door. These dogs had to be isolated from the others and they were always fighting dog breeds.
> In those days most families lived in a single room, so kids and dogs would share a space
Dogs used to be kept outside.
> any bull dog that showed the slightest sign of aggression towards a human was killed.
This applies to all dog breeds. Dogs that attack humans are culled even to this day, I'm not sure why a "bull dog" would be special in this regard. The only thing unique to fighting breeds is they were bred to be good at killing without reason.

There is the house and then the street. > This applies to all dog breeds. Dogs that attack humans are culled even to this day, I'm not sure why a "bull dog" would be special in this regard. The only thing unique to fighting breeds is they were bred to be good at killing without reason. This was a specific multi-year cull aimed at removing human aggression from the bull breeds.
