I was at PetCo one Sat to buy dog food. It was dog adoption day and while waiting in line to pay for my purchases I listened to a person from a rescue group (don't know which one) trying to talk a family into adopting a dog.
It was a 3 or 4 year old pitt bull and the family had 3 small children. One of the kids was terrified of the dog and while I stood there I could hear the dog growl softly at the child.
I left and they were still talking. It is one of the times that I am sorry I kept my opinion to myself.
Trying to talk any individual or family into pet adoption is foolish, regardless of species, type or breed.
I hope that family didn’t get that particular dog; it doesn’t sound like they were a good fit for each other.
