Sadly, though it breaks my heart, I think I have to agree here.
“Just a nip” may not be just a nip to someone that is not experienced with Pits, especially when it draws blood. That’s not “just a nip”, it’s a bite. Maybe not a serious bite but a still a bite. Many people only know what the media tells them about Pits.
Perhaps the ACO and court will allow you to try a muzzle or get a trainer to help you before recommending the dog be put down.
Thankfully it appears that no one was seriously injured though injured nonetheless. We all need to be mindful that WE are ultimately responsible for what our dogs do.
Good luck and please keep us posted.
