I have had a few pit bulls and each of them were just the most loving dogs I have ever had. I would not own anything but a pit bull. I baby my dogs and keep them in the house. I don't keep them on a chain or anything, and they have free roam of my house. Currently I have a pit bull and a mastiff. Both dogs are big, strong, protective and very loyal. With this said though, the dogs best friend is my 7 pound cat. All three of them cuddle, watch out for each other, and will groom each other. I never showed my dogs aggression towards other animals or people and I can honestly say that if you walked into my house you can bet on death by licking and slobber, not an attack. I wish people would be responsible with their dogs and quit giving people like me a bad name. You have to treat pit bulls like kids. They need attention, exercise, love, proper food and most of all, a positive environment. Not one that is full of screaming and fighting.
