A big pit bull at large is almost always a drug dog that someone got tired of and quit taking care of.
Back a few years, I lived in the country and was walking out the door around daybreak to go to work when I was confronted by one of those drug dogs. Piece of rope tied to a chain around his neck, scrawny and growling at me. I backed up into the house and called the sheriff's office. They gave me the "all clear" to protect my home. I did not have a Grendel then, but a Ruger P85 with 125 grain hollow point works well, too.
It's just sad that people have taken this breed of dog and done so many things to it that it's reputation is ruined. I have no opinion on the them one way or another, but they are no different from other dogs that have at one point or another gotten a bad rap, whether earned or not. Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers come to mind.
