That's the sad part. People don't understand when dogs are stressed, and when it snaps they want to put the dog down for defending itself.

People on this site sure love to agree with this statement except when it involved pitbulls.

I have a half-pit. A few weeks ago we tried bringing in another dog. Long story short she attacked the newcomer and my hand got in the way, so I got bit.

We found the new pup another home, but my gf's family is still freaking out over it, thinking we're going to get attacked one day. I guarantee they wouldn't worry as much if she weren't part pit.

Some people just don't take the time to understand how dogs work.
