DB, whenever we hit Marymoor, Calvin makes a total beeline for any Great Danes who are there. He LOVES them.

They don't make signs like this for beagles or collies, though, do they.

There have been several owners here who explained why they love their pitbulls. What more do you want? What would make you understand?

Yeah, but no one keeps sharks as free-roaming pets, per se.

I used to be afraid of them until my sister got one. They really are -extremely- affectionate and follow you everywhere. They're also really playful and are great clowns. Also very, very obedient.
It's kind of hard to explain if you don't have one. You develop a strong trusting bond with these dogs - you really feel you know them, so you really don't think twice that they will attack you.

Once again -- don't misunderstand me. I'm not spearheading a movement to eliminate pit bulls, I'm just trying to fathom why a rational person would want such a dog (and for what it's worth, I remain unconvinced of their appeal). Perhaps I'm simply buying into the negative aspects of their reputation, but said reputation is steeped in some pretty grizzly fact. Also, I suspect many (read:NOT ALL) pit bull owners see them as some sort've tough guy mystique-enhancing accessory as opposed to a proper pet.
I don't know any pit bulls. I haven't had any bad experiences with them (my bad dog experiences involve Boxers, actually). I'm just puzzled by their appeal.

And pits are just better than labs. Sorry, but I think labs are more boring.
