What is exhausting is all those people on social media who try to say that pitbulls are misunderstood.

They have a reputation for a reason.

Just like Raiders fans!

Don't make me get my knives out. :D

Used to walk and take care of my neighbor's pit when he was out of town for a couple days or more. Loved me, my boxer and anyone I would give the nod to.

The only bad experience I had was a yip dog stuck his snout through the fence and scared us both. Not scared, just a jump scare. I'm guessing the vertical gaps were about 5" apart so just big enough to fit his snoot through but nothing else.

Well, toby, not having a good grasp on physics grabbed the yip dog by the snout and decided he could pull him out. Had to choke him out before he tore the other dog's face off, which he may have.

They're a double edge sword. Boxers and German Shepards are my goto breed.

I'm a lab person. I don't know what that means, but...

My oldest brothers father had Chows when I was growing up. The rule was you could play in the yard around the dogs but do not look them in the eyes/stare at them in the eyes. I never tried it.

Black, Yellow, or Chocolate?

All the people on social media are exhausting about everything.

It’s how you raise them, I love pit bulls, even if they kill me.

back a few years back KC passed an ordinance against these foul bastards. For about 2 months they were being dumped in the country by their awesome dog loving owners. Neighbor and I killed 4 before they stopped showing up. They would kill calves and one neighbor had 4 sheep killed by one that I ended up shooting.

This. 1000 times this.

I'm honestly more fearful of the cat than the Pitty mix. (not a puppy in the pic)

I had almost forgotten. A good friend of mine ended up in a mess with his neighbors. They were waking theirl little dog down the sidewalk by their house and and another neighbor’s pitt got out and and attacked their little dog.

The woman was trying to get the pitt off her dog and it bit her then went after the little dog again. My friend ran out and grabbed the dog by its collar pulled it away and hung the dog by its collar on chain link fence post somehow.

The little dog died and they had to take the woman to the hospital for stitches.

The dog was likely raised to be mean but Jesus. The neighbor who owned the dog tried to fight to keep it from being put down but obviously lost.

Terrible story. What I don’t get, if you have little kids especially, and I’m genuinely curious. Why get a pit bull? What’s the appeal unique to them? There are countless great family dogs that aren’t prone to snapping so violently. I understand it’s rare to get as bad as this story but even bites can leave terrible injuries.

According to the article... the dogs pre-dated the kids.
