Attack not by pitbulls, but Bull Mastiffs 

I was very upset to see that your paper had allowed an AP story to be printed with the totally incorrect caption, "Pitbulls attack SF woman." (Weekend, Jan. 27-29, pg. 5).  

I doubt that this was AP's headline title, since they probably got the story from the SF Chronicle, whose article on page one today correctly identifies the breed as Bull Mastiffs, which are NOT Pitbulls, but a breed derived by crossing English Mastiffs with Bulldogs. 

For once, Pitbulls, a much maligned breed, cannot be made the guilty breed!  

Think of that! But you have just contributed to the bad press they always receive.
