I hear many pit bulls are friendly. Great. But why get one when you can have a friendly and loyal dog of another breed that doesn’t have the power to rip your face off if he has a bad day? It would be like getting a cougar instead of a house cat. Stupid and dangerous in a crowded neighborhood or if you have kids. There is a reason that street thugs like these dogs and thats because they are dangerous and hence macho.
Any medium to large size dog has the capability to "rip your face off".
