You know the recent nature of pitbulls by what some people have done to them. Do yourself a favor and research the history of the breed, there was a time in this country when pits where the family dog of choice.

A good dog protects its family.

A bad dog ravages a threat.

It is a matter of perspective.

There is no difference between the two except love.

Our healer was in heat a few years back and a pit jumped our fence. My husband was home and tried to run the pit off. He picked up a lawn implement, an edger I think.

In retelling the story, he told about putting the edger down and just opening the gate, yelling at the dog to leave. He told me that when fighting the animal with this implement he saw something in the animals eyes.

It was fear.

The animal was fighting a threat to its own life.

My husband saw no legitimate defense other than our own animals “virtue”. It was not a bad dog, it was a dog acting on instinct.

Yes, I fear put bulls - because I respect them.
