Bs years ago a lab took a hunk of my meat right below my rib cage with him after he bit me for no reason. I was playin with a friend of mine at her house, ( it was her dog). And next thing i know it just snaps and bites me on the side. I had to have 10 stiches. And it wasnt the first time id been there. I just did something that day it didnt like. Luckly it wasnt a pit and it just bit me and ran away. Funny thing is they had it for 6 years no problems it bit me they put it down. I was only 15 at the time.
