The Neapolitan mastiff blood lines can be traced back as far as ancient Greece as a working dog.

I have to say this. Dogs like German Shepherds and Huskies serve a purpose. Shepherds are amazing police dogs, cadaver dogs, avalanche rescue dogs an therapy dogs. Husky's have been used for centuries by northern natives and explorers as a means of transportation. Pit Bulls serve no purpose other than the fact that people like them because they're "bad ass". There are far too much Pit Bull apologists out there. I hear from them nearly every time I take my dog to the dog park. "Oh I just really wanna make sure he's socialized", "well he just takes awhile to warm up to you", "he's never done that before", or my favourite "he's just playing rough" as he's grabbing another dog by the throat and stepping on it. I have had dogs my entire life, German Shepherds, Border Collies, a Husky Akita cross and now a Boston Terrier. Not one of them has bit me or snapped at me or anyone else. Now last week I go to a friends house who is hosting my wife's baby shower. They have a pit bull. This thing has seen me probably a dozen times, let me pet it, feed it, it knows who I am. I go to set a box of supplies down and it lunged at me trying to bite my leg but I got out of the way in time. Ive been attacked twice at work by pit bulls and ended up having to kill them. Sorry but if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it's a duck. There's a reason they have their reputation.
They serve zero purpose.
