My pit isn't vicious. I've had her since the day she was born! She's almost 8. I will get off the grid before I let anyone take her! In fact, of all the pits I've ever come across, only 1 was mean and it went after dogs I use to have. My brother had 2. Their little boy use to pull their tails, their ears and sit on them and they never bit him. Later, I had to even take care of them for a few weeks.These dogs didn't know me. They never so much as growled at me. In fact they were great! Anyone tries to take my dog will regret the day they ever met me! She's turned dog haters into dog lovers and gets more kisses than anyone I know.
