This is the thing. There are.
My neighbour was an awesome guy. He was an EMT, we'd have beers, BBQs, you name it. He was an awesome person and dog owner.
I just dont understand the fascination with Pitbulls.
Its like...my dad. My dad grew up on a farm and dogs were working animals.
So thats how he treated my dog. Despite the fact that as far as 'work' is concerned my dog is useless. He's a pet.
Yeah, I could take him to Dog 'Boot Camp' or whatever and train him to be like a military dog or a farm dog or whatever...but I dont want that. I'd like a pet, not a servant.
The problem with Pitbulls, in my opinion as I'm no expert, is that their base instincts are aggressive. When they're comfortable and happy and their owner is around...cool. No problems. Good owners right? But the second something damages their calm? They are bred for aggression.
And they are powerful.
