Parents who worry about a pit bull tearing into their child's flesh would shudder at the thought of a Staffordshire bull terrier being called a "Nanny Dog".
But that's how some aficionados have referred to the breed, according to a website called The Truth About Pit Bulls.
The Nanny Dog rebranding is designed to show how good these dogs were around children in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Truth About Dogs claims that the term has been milked by 21st-century pit-bull owners to promote greater acceptance of the breed.
This information came under a headline stating: "From 2004 to 2010 59 US children were killed by the family's, babysitter's, neighbor's or friend's pit bull."
In 2013, a pit-bull advocacy group called Bad Rap said that it didn't support referring to these canines as Nanny Dogs. For that, The Truth About Pit Bulls site offered thanks.
But others still use the term, regardless of the number of kids who've been killed or maimed by the breed.
