I take Ginger out in public a lot when we do fundraisers for the rescue group and people think she is too cute and so friendly, they get down on her level and get kisses from her and then they ask what breed she is. Some are like "oh, I didn't know that's what they looked like" or "aren't they supposed to be mean", others will back away as fast as they can and if they have kids they snatch them up like they are about to be hit by an oncoming train. It's like, wait a minute, you were just down there in her face and thought she was cute until I told you what she was. I like to mess with people when they become apprehensive, I tell them "we haven't told her she's a Pit Bull though". That makes them feel kind of silly. I try not to let people's reactions bother me, but I know it bothers Ginger because she doesn't understand why they don't want to be her friends. Pits are very sensitive and wear their emotions on their face so it breaks my heart when she feels rejected.
