1. Pit bulls
Alhough many are loving family pets, pit bulls definitely have the potential to do serious damage. In fact, the breed has been held responsible for 61 percent of U.S. deaths from dog bites in 2012.

Some of this is because their warning behavior is hard to interpret, but they are also often unfairly used by irresponsible owners as “status dogs” and trained for violence.
