How do you know how good the owner was? A good owner will socialize their dogs before they turn five months so these incidents don't happen. This is especially true when you own a Pit bull and take the dog to a dog park. Sorry, but this Pit bull shouldn't have done that if this were the case. There is always a reason why dogs act out. The poster 2x above me is wrong. A well trained and socialized dog doesn't just attack another dog "out of instinct" for no reason at all. That is not normal. They're not wild animals, they are domesticated dogs. Something went wrong with this Pit bull's socialization for him to do that.
