MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.
Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any breed of dog.
There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

That poor dog looks half-dead from starvation now. What idiot would give a starving dog food and then expect to be able to take it away???
That is so sad.....
What is extra sad is its not even hard to teach a dog food bowl aggression isn't the best option.
If a dog learns it gets more and better food by allowing people to approach the bowl it pretty quickly gives up the food bowl aggression and is delighted when people approach and handle the bowl.
Dogs do what works - if growling works they do that, if allowing people to take the bowl or touch it has better consequences they do that instead... Its not hard...
how this happen to the dogs in the shelter home???
