About three years ago my husband and I took our puppy to a dog park. He was about 6 months old and big for his age. Some lady came in with her full breed pit bull. I bet the dog easily weighed over 100 pounds. He shadowed our puppy and would not allow him to move away without standing over him and dominating him. The idiot owner kept blathering on and on about how sweet her dog was and how pb’s were misunderstood and mis-bred and that the full breed pb was an easy going dog. My husband and I left soon after and never returned to a dog park.

"The idiot owner kept blathering on and on about how sweet her dog was and how pb’s were misunderstood and mis-bred and that the full breed pb was an easy going dog."

When encountering a pit bull person, one might promptly move the discussion towards pit bull anatomy and worries about their health, then the effects of various substances like capsaicin (poor things), effects of electrical current, then maybe switch to terminal ballistics (e.g., 115 gr. 9mm HP), cultures where dogs are consumed,...things like that, going from sincere concern to...well, concern with enthusiasm!

Because talking to them is so interesting, you know. They're interesting specimens.
