"Police have not specified the breed but “reports” say it was a pit bull” I’d love to know how “reports” know this. Its very sad...actually not the fist time a dog has been scared by an epileptic fit with tragic consequences.
Yes it makes a difference. Despite your question heading, we know nothing about the dog breed. We know nothing about how the dog had been raised or kept and very little about the bloke who died, we don’t even know how he died, ie how much was done by the dog, whether he bled to death, suffocated and so on.
