I dont understand why most are afraid of dogs, fear is telling them that you're want to be bitten. stand still, kneel down and don't panic if you are a stranger. since they can run faster, there's no point in running. any dogs is more likely to bite a stranger, it feels its life is threatened when you go near them and they are not familiar with you.

They were also bred to be non-human aggressive. Pit bulls are about the only breed of dog you can pick up after it gets hit by a car, and it wont bite you. This was bred for because the owners had to be able to pull them out of the pits after they were wounded while fighting. So unless someone has been locking it in a cage and jabbing a pointed stick at it, I'd rather be near a pit bull than a german shepherd, assuming they both dont know me.
On a related note, earlier this week someone shot a couple pellets from a BB gun at my co-worker's dogs. They were drunk (on a Tuesday night... wtf?), went up in their apartment, came downstairs, and took a couple pot shots while his dogs were out in his backyard. He came out when the screaming started.
Apparently, when annoyed, his mastiffs can jump the four foot chainlink fence he has in the back yard. If he had taken a picture of the jackasses that were shooting, it would make a very nice "PWNED!!!!!!" pic. Especially since one of the two sh!t himself in a highly literal (and apparently, highly liquid) manner.
there aren't that many puppies and small dogs in general in the pound.. most are large/older. They're not right for everyone, which is sad.Originally posted by: Stark
pit bulls are great... if you don't mind worrying about the neighborhood kids being mauled or getting your home insurance cancelled.
Personally I don't know why anyone pays $600 for a dog when there are thousands of good dogs killed in pounds every day.
