Reply #15: What is it about the pit bull breed that attracts a--holes?

[shrike]

And my sincerest apologies to the DU owners who own pits. I have nothing against the breed and helped "rescue" one recently that was the sweetest dog. (I considered keeping it, in fact, but my 11-year-old Lab went behind the couch and cried when I brought it in the house, so there went that.) But I have known more than a few total jerks and a--holes that just had to own a pit bull. Like the guy who used to live next door to me and owned a pit -- thing was as dumb as a box of rocks but just wanted to be loved. This SOB treated it terribly and my biggest regret is that I didn't just call the ASPCA on him.
