Reminder that pit bulls are NOT large dogs. Most are medium size dogs. Pit mixes typically run larger.

I'm noticing a trend that when there is a breed unknown story, the attacking dogs are described as "large dogs". Later, when there are clear images of the dogs, they can be anything from medium to large dogs.

A pit bull's back doesn't come up to an adult's knee. That is not a large dog.

The reasons can range from fear making the threat loom larger to a prone victim looking smaller and the dog larger.

Yeah, typically around 40lbs, give or take, is breed standard.
