To be an effective weapon, sure, I agree. I will say this though, my mother owns two huge dogs. Whenever any man comes anywhere close to her, they go from being the normal, docile animals they are around the living room, to being ferocious psychopaths. She can't correct this. Its ingrained in them to protect her. And the same goes for my father. They were pound dogs. I think that pound dogs, especially big pound dogs like hers, know that they were saved or whatever. That is dog jail. I mean, its like, you go to choose a best friend, and you go to pick him up on death row at San Quentin. Yeah, he's not going to be the best of characters. He's killed a few people. He's done some bad shit. But is that friend going to be loyal to you? Most likely. Unless you choose one of the sociopaths. Thats kind of what it is like getting a dog off of death row in the pound. You might get a sociopath that eats your throat, but more than likely, you'll get a dog that did some bad shit before, went to jail, and will protect you for that. He's not professionally trained, not by any means. But any pitbull is a lethal beast. Just search the news for "pit bull" in any paper. Dog flies through window and mauls two teenage boys to death, etc, among the headlines.
That breed is just something else.
