This guy comes along with his pitbull and whilst my gut told me to leave I didn't want to be a wuss so stayed. I should have left. Anyway Rusty is fine now.

Yah man, I hear yah. But if your gut told ya something was wrong, you shoulda went with it and removed your dog. I do it all the time, when I am at the park if an aggressive dog or a dog that I think might cause an issue comes in, I leave. I know if shit hits the fan and it isn't my dogs fault, they will still get blamed because they are pitbulls. Your dog, especially at its size can't help itself, it's just a dog. You need to make sure it's safe. I see peoplle all the time at parks bring in their dogs who clearly shouldn't be there. I take my dogs and remove them. I am sorry about your dog though, seeing your dog fight isn't fun. Mine have been attacked by larger dogs and breaking up fights with stronger dogs is very scary. Glad your little guy made it out alive.
Please don't blame the pitbull breed for what happened though. Blame the owner and pretty much yourself if you knew the situation could get ugly and you chose to keep your dog in it.
