This was back when pits were really starting to hit the news for being a "bully breed". I about peed my pants as this dog came towards me. When it got to my feet, he slid to a stop, rolled over, presented his belly for scratching and wagged his tail like mad. I spent the rest of the visit with him in my lap. My BIL went on to raise several more pits over the years. Each one was lovable, loyal, adored children and other dogs and never, ever even so much as growled in anger at a person or other animal.
I've had the pleasure of meeting many, many other good pitbull owners over the years. It is ALL about the owners and never about the dogs when pitbulls get in to trouble. It's unfortunate that they have inherited the bad rap that german shepards and rottweillers once had. |
My aunt has 1 Pit now who is 8 years old who has never in his life shown his teeth (unless he's giving you a big ole' smile and kisses all over your face!) or growled or shown any aggression whatsoever. She used to have another Pit, Cyprus, who they rescued from a bad situation. What a sweet, sweet dog and just so grateful to have had an amazing home for the last 4yrs of his life.
Here's my aunt's HUGE baby, Max.
