You're a great person and I know you would do anything for anyone, you have a big heart...and I'd like to see you keep it! LOL! That being said...here's my opinion part...I think you're out of your league on this one. Once 'Stink' realizes he's home alone and his job is to protect that home everything may change in his mind.
Now, here's my story...we had a Cockapoo about 20 years ago...Benji was the cutest, loving little 15 pound ball of fluff that wouldn't hurt a soul...or we thought. We had a life long friend come in to lay carpet while we were gone one day...Benji knew Carl and had known him for years. Well, he let him in but wouldn't let him out and he guarded the doors aggressively when Carl would try to leave...it ended up that Carl had to call us to come let him out of our house. Needless to say we were shocked and totally surprised by Benji's behavior. The point is...anything can happen when the owner isn't there and it can happen with any breed of dog...not just pitts, they just have a more publicized reputation and we all know it isn't a good one.
If you decide to do this please take every precaution to protect yourself and be ready for the unexpected. Is there a boarding place they can take him to or do they even shy away from pitts? |
That does not just happen with dogs, it can happen with cats too. My husband locked himself out of the house many years ago, and he tried to get it through a window. Our sweet, beautiful Muffin stood in the window and hissed and growled at him.
