We had a pit rescue picked up off the streets of NOLA. She was feral and we had her for ten years. I’ve had labs, goldens, Chesapeake bay retrievers, Shepards and mutts, the pit was the gentlest, smartest and most loyal of the bunch.
One case proves nothing, I know but I’d take that dog back in a heartbeat.
My niece owns a pit bull who is dominated by her 6 lb chihuahua. So funny.
One case proves nothing, I know but I’d take that dog back in a heartbeat.
Lovely story.
And, as another poster mentioned, just about EVERY shelter is full with pits.
Perhaps you could adopt several dozen.

All our dogs have been pit rescues. All have been great dogs. Bed hogs, one and all.
Pit bulls get a bad reputation because so many owners abuse them and turn them into mean dogs.
They’re probably more of a reflection of their owners than anything, and from what I’ve seen, they can be gentle loving dogs as you have seen also.
Kindest, ventless you ever had. . nice, pleeeease. Pitbulls all have heads as hard as rocks, The can’t be gentle. One head butt and you get a bruise or a kid gets knocked down. But you are right, one in a million isn’t a breed standard. Which for puts is a wide open chain saw hanging over your head by a rubber band.. it may stretch or it may break at any moment.
