I have a pitbull, Daizy. She is my second one. 
I have a cocker spaniel. I have owned pitbulls in the past though.
Pit bulls get bad publicity.  Not all are bad, but you need to be a responsible owner too.
Yes, because people started doing Dog fighting as a sport where they would put 2 dogs up together. They used pit bulls a lot because of how strong they are.
Agreed, but also the owner needs to know the dog.  My two pits are very different.  One loved everyone except for men... lol This one loves everyone especially kids... You gotta know the dogs limits.
Yes, Agreed. There is also an organization called BAD RAP that rescues pitbulls and is trying to improve the public image of them.
I hope it works. My pit now was left in the woods with her dead mother for weeks.  They found the pups sucking on the dead mother looking for milk. So sad.
That is so incredibly sad. It's a good thing the pups survived.
