Reference

SLASH'EM_0.0.7E7F2/monst.c#line421

A pit bull is a domestic monster added in SLASH'EM.  It is similar to a large dog, but considerably stronger.

Strategy
While having a stronger dog is nice, by the time these animals appear you will probably want an even better pet.  Like most domestic animals in SLASH'EM, pit bulls are unable to hurt a large variety of monsters, since they hit as a +0 weapon.
They are quite capable however in killing a priest that you might want to keep alive.
