i agree with you, the bad rap is making life miserable for this breed. my sister lives in a real upscale(snobby) nieborhood and she wanted to get a puppy for her son. they had a big fenced in yard and the timimg was perfect. so she went to a shelter and they fell in love with a dog and brought her home, well when they neighbors found out she was a pit they all banned against her, and her son"s(my nephew) friends mothers would not let their children visit him. she was the niceset dog and it broke their hearts but they couldn't keep her.
another quick story: when i was in my 20s i was babysitting a friends pit bull and i had a real jerky boyfriend at the time. he came to my apartment, mad about something and started yelling at me. the dog was on the couch right next to me and the bf was yelling in a real intimidating manner. That dog, who knew me all of about 2 days, lashed out at him when he started pointing his finger at my face. he didn't actually bite him but he snatched the watch right off his wrist. i can tell you, as a 103 lbs female( me..not the dog-haha) i never felt more protected! i have loved that brred ever since!
