I had a pit bull that I also saved from fighting, she was six months old when I got her and I will swear she was the ultimate best dog you could ask for. I would have trusted her with my son from the day I brought him home from the hospital. She very easily could have turned on me as she WAS a fighter, her parents were fighters and her grandparents were fighters, so it was in her blood. She welcomed cats in to our home, she also welcomed another dog in to our home. She was seriously the best dog you could have, and she was the poster child for what you are claiming (tommy).... that they can turn, if she wanted to I guess she could have, but as it was said earlier by the other poster, my dog also was a scardy cat, she didnt run and hide, but she did coward and in the ten years I had her, she only rasied her teeth at one person, and that person was the biggest loser in this world, dogs can sense bad, and she did. I would walk her at the amish market in charlotte hall, people had their kids come up and pet her all the time. I am sorry tommy but I have to disagree with you, maybe what you saw was because the owners of those dogs had a hidden agenda and did things behind closed doors to make the dogs aggressive, but since we have now had to put down two our dogs, I am almost ready for another dog and I truly think it will be another pit bull (it will be a resuce dog no matter what), but because of the temperment of my other pit bull I would love to have my son grow up with such a great loyal companion.
