Well I will say this , We had a pittbull and I was afraid how she would react around my newborn , and I recall flatly telling my husband that if she ever so much as made a wimper at the baby I would get rid of her , I guess I was frightened of the bad rap this type of dog has recieved , and its not fair , Her Name was Dawg she was more than wonderful with my baby son , and every littel cry he would make she was there to nudge me to him , yes she was incredible , and as my son got older she would just let him sit on her back while she was just laying on the floor , those two were inseperable …. the most she would attack was my flowers that I had bought and left on the table until I was ready to plant them , but that was because she was mad that I hadn’t taken her out for a ride with us …
But I am sure there are other wonderful stories about these types of dogs out there , we only hear of the bad , but It makes me wonder , why ? is it how they were raised ?
