I never actually met a Pit until I moved to Arizona, I wasn't scared of them or anything since my family always had chows (which also have a bad reputation). But going to the dog park here in Tucson Pits are very popular and they are so friendly, I love them so much. While I'll admit I'd never want one, but it's only because they have too much energy, my dog is VERY lazy and I love that because I'm lazy too. But I love seeing them when I go to the dog park. They are such goofy dogs, they always look so happy with their tounge flapping and it's obvious that they are always so willing to please their owners. It's sad that people still think badly of them.
