So this graph is representative of data over a twelve-year period? If so, that means all the dogs in that graph are entirely less dangerous than anyone would make them seem.
No it does not. 66% is 2023 alone.
"Pit Bulls were responsible for approximately 66% of fatal dog attacks in 2023."

I don't see it as the person you are replying to is talking about the ratio, but the absolute number. Even if it was the case, your "no" to their statement is just wrong. It is literally the next sentence in your quote:
