I hate pits and strongly dislike cats.
I saw our family friends pit turn at about 7 years of age. Thankfully we all barely made it to safety. The other dog distracted him long enough. I couldn’t get to the house, but made it to the roof of the garage. That dog I knew it’s whole life. It was well raised and a loved dog. Owner came out with his lever 22 and shot it. Well, shot through the screen door that is.
I’ve had other friends have terrible experiences as well. Each to their own, but I won’t take my kids or my hounds near one.
My daughter was walking her little chihuahua and beagle in the local park. A pit came out of nowhere and attacked the chi and ripped open her stomach. The owner ran over and grabbed his dog and took off. Daughter had to have chi stitched up at the vets and had to pay a large bill. No one knows who this guy is or his dog.
