My husband and I took the kids and both puppies to Tabor Park. It has the beach, playground etc etc...anyway, I noticed this woman standing away from the playground. She and her dog were clearly interested in my pups. She had her Pit on a leash and it was clear she wanted to talk but was afraid. I think because she had a Pit and wasn't sure how we'd react. She said the ENORMOUS Pit was a French import. I didn't want to offend the Pit owner but I have to admit not knowing the dog I let the dogs sniff but not very close and every dog's tale was waggin. I wispered to my husband before walking over not to let the kids to close. Anyway, I understand why people are afraid. I for one defend the breed but to trust any Pit or any large dog you run across is just silly. You don't know their history is all and like any dog you don't know you need to be cautious that's all. I've come across tiny little ankle biters I tell my kids to stay away from too...I don't know, I guess the point in this is to say I see everyone's point of view...
