One of my co-workers at my last job has a father-daughter pair of Pit Bulls. They both used to accompany him to the hobby store we worked at and lounge in the office for most if the day. Bolo (Dad) is a big couch potato. If anyone got up from their seat they lost it to eighty pounds of big puppy. Diamond (daughter) liked ot come down and socialize with the customers. I remember walking in one day to see her standing quietly while a toddler in a stroller pulled at her whiskers. Talk about tolerant!

I have worked with dogs a lot in the last few years. The only bites I have gotten were from a golden retriever, a bassett hound, and all but one dalmation I have come across. (out of 4)

I don't entirely disagree with breed generalizing since I am now almost phobic about Dals, but I find laws and regulations generalizing 'pit-type' dogs and other such breeds rediculous. For example, rather than turn down a prospective applicant for an apartment because they have a doberman, why not tell any applicant with a dog that their dog has to have passed the Canine Good Citizen test?

Gah, I'm not going to be able to stop if I keep going any longer.....
