Pitbulls are some of the nicest, friendliest dogs that exist. I have two and they're super playful. It sucks that retards twist these dogs into monsters and then give the rest of them a bad rap.
Co-sign. Its the ignorance of the original thread starter that causes the dog to continue to be isolated and confined to bad owners instead of everyday good people. I owned a pit bull and he was named, Marvel...same as my username. He died a few months before I joined the coli and he was the best dog I ever owned.
I probably won't get another pit bull because of the stigma you face as an owner of the breed and if I move to another city, they may be banned in that city and I would want to have my dog put to sleep or given up.
They are actually used in the hospital as therapy dogs for sick children and elderly patients because as well trained one is very nice towards humans. My mom comes across them all the time at hospital she works at.
The dog was actually bred to be aggressive towards dogs and other animals...that is the instinct of all terrier breeds. This was done for dog fighting and in some occasions hunting. Back in the day, any pit that was aggressive towards humans were neutered or put to sleep to get undesirable traits out of the line. Now, people breed these traits into some of their dogs, mostly done by stupid hood nikkas.
