in our local city shelter, 90%+ of the dogs are pit bulls - all from the ghetto.
The 2 I knew were raised in the country in a family environment. Wonderful, friendly dogs that snapped periodically and killed other cats/Dogs on occasion that walked too close to them. There was no playing. Also liked to sneak off and chase deer for a few days at a time. Always came back with bruised lips where they must have mauled the deer once they tired. After a couple years of trying my friend finally put both the beast down. Until the day they died, I never turned my back on either one.
