I never owned one, but a friend did. The first time I met the dog it literally knocked me over so it could lick my face. It just got friendlier from there. The breed may not be perfect, but it is certainly not the time bomb people make it out to be. It boils down to the responsibility of the owner and treatment of the dog. That is true of all dogs, not just pit bulls.
‘That is true of all dogs, not just pit bulls.’
So why not get a lab?
