Yes, there are shitty pit bull owners out there.

No, not all pit bulls are aggressive, only non-neutered, poorly trained, or abused ones.

Yes, it's weird how the comic uses an overweight woman to characterize bad dog owners but not the victims.

It also characterises "regular-weight men" as bad dog owners (second panel).

but not the victims

Yeah, let's stop with the "skinny-girl victim" propaganda! Plus size women can be victims too!

I think the second panel is meant to be the same woman given that their top is the same, the hair is the same length, albeit a darker shade, and in the third panel she is pointing towards the second panel.

I won't argue about the second panel, even though it wouldn't make sense story-wise for it to be the same character there, but in the third panel she's very definitely pointing towards the fourth panel, not the second.
