Never Had A Pit In My Life

My daughter had a pit that she rescued when she was one, her name was Angel and she fit the name. She was the best dog I have ever seen, my grand daughter grew up with her and she would sit on Angel and read her stories, it was so cute. We were sad when Angel had to be put to sleep at the age of 10. Glad you got a good one too,

Love that shot, and of course I love that pitty, so adorable. I've never met a mean pit.

I've had dogs & cats too @Deajae72 and that does include a Pit. She was very loving and a great guard dog at the same time. Now remember Pits are prone to cancer, so be very diligent in examining the dogs body regularly for any lumps. Most will show up at the neck or groin area.

@Deajae72 It is not the dog itself but the owner that raises the dog. See, your dog is very sweet. I remember when I first came to Israel to live someone had a doberman. She was the sweetest kindest dog I ever met except for when i had my dog. We cannot believe what people say about a certain kind of animal. It is how the animal is raised and you and this other person are living proof that they are good dogs too.

I dont have pets. I like animals but not in my home

I believe that dogs are awesome I want to get a husky it would be my first pet. I don't blame you for loving animals

They are known to be aggressive, but i guess most dogs are.. it just depends on how you take care of them. I hope all goes well with your pit

I am actually scared to have one. I wanted to have a pug but not yet. Not the time yet.

Hi, Tee! Glad to see another Pitty owner here! I had a similar situation: My husband was adamant about getting a dog. He'd been looking on Craiglist for months, always asking me to look at dogs, asking me if one or the other looked nice. I never agreed with him because I didn't want a pit. I had been raised to believe they were bloodthirsty fighting dogs, and that they regularly mauled people. Sure, every now and then you'd here that one bit a kid, or attacked another dog. So I kept saying no. Finally, he showed me one that I noticed looked very sad. I couldn't pin it down - she just looked sad, even in pictures with the family. So I agreed to meet her. After three weeks of my husband trying to get the dog to meet me, the family brought her over, and I was scared but in control, with a handful of deli turkey in my hand, 5 minutes later, she was sitting on the couch next to me with her head in my lap. I gave in, and accepted her. But the big part of this story is that only two weeks later, my husband passed away suddenly, and left me all alone. But that was the thing - even though I was far from family, and on my own, my loving girl watched over both me and the house, guarding against strangers with her growls and barking, keeping me safe at night, and treating my cats with respect and love. She thinks they are her puppies! To all those who doubt pits (and mine is a pit-bulldog-doberman mix, and most pits are mixes), you should try one before putting them down. Just remember, pits are better by themselves, as they need lots of love, and have lots of love to give right back.

cute dog too
