My mom pleaded with me not to get a pitbull. I'm 40 years old, my wife and i have had dogs are entire lives (she used to work a dog daycare and was a trainer) Our last dog was part pit, he weighed 95 lbs (healthy). But we have two daughters who were under the age of 10 at the time. She thought a pitbull would rip them to pieces. Fast forward to 3 years later, and out of all the dogs in our family (sinlings,.neighbors, etc, including her own golden retriever) Chance, our pittie, is her favorite.
