That fatal dog attack that left a three year old dead in Onslow County has people on all sides of the issue speaking out.

Some wonder why people are allowed to have these dogs. Some Pitt Bull owners are upset about the way the breed is being portrayed.

Billy Craft of Pitt County shows his Pit Bull in competitions. He says the dogs are getting a bad rap. He says, "It hurts my feelings. It's a great breed, one of the number one service dogs in the military. People just don't know enough about the breed."

But others say they know plenty. They say Pit Bulls are aggressive by nature, are responsible for more fatalities than any other dog, and that's why they view them as vicious and dangerous.

Still, Craft maintains the way a Pit Bull turns out is related to the way it is raised. Craft says, "I believe any dog or any animal with teeth will bite regardless of if It's a cat, dog, whatever. It's all 100 percent the owner. What the owner teaches it to do that's what It's going to do."
