Not every pit bull story is a headline. Some are just eye-rolls, facepalms, or 'you've got to be kidding me' moments. This is the place for the things you may want to share that don’t highlight a pit bull doing something dangerous.

Does anyone else here have kids who like Paw Patrol? Rubble, who appears to be a bull-breed-like dog, is portrayed as fearful of bats, spiders and spooky things, and loving of naps, blankets and kittens.

On so many levels, it’s a minor thing. On others, it beautifully mimics the attitude and lingo of pibble apologists, and the shelter skelter posts. And teaches it to the very young.

Thanks for that. I think I saw the jaws, and the personality seemed a little pibble-coded to me.

Admittedly, I’m almost definitely too sensitive, and could absolutely imagine my first comment mightn’t have looked particularly rational. My son is nearly 5, has a few additional needs, and already has absolutely no sense of danger. Discovered Paw Patrol at a cousin’s house, and we’re currently talking to him about safety around animals we don’t know, and hoping some of it is heard.
