Posted in: Rising pit bull attacks in Japan put spotlight on negligent owners See in context
There are a few breeds that have inherently violent tendencies one being the American Pitbull terrier.
They are fighting dogs not really meant as family dogs.
I read a case in America where the granddaughter hadn't visited her grandparents house for a while and took a couple of them out for a walk in the woods where they proceeded to maul her to death and partially eat her.
I wouldn't advise anyone to own such a dog as they can 'snap' for little or no reason with cause.

Posted in: Japanese soccer player Kazuyoshi Miura says he will play next season at age 58 See in context
I saw him play against Gifu FC a few years ago...He spent 30 minutes or so warming up and came on at the end of the match for 10 minutes to the crowds delight.
He didn't do have any impact on the game at all and in an fairness he is just an advertising mascot for the teams he plays for now.
After 40 -45 he really should have called it quits and gone into coaching.
