A pitbull may love YOU, but not a neighbour's child and kill it.
Those dogs are prohibited in many civilized countries for their killer instinct.
{There was the case of such a dog in Las Terrenas, that killed a girl...}
And you want one?

Not me donP, Mr. AE has always wanted one and I've always said no. To tell you the truth, I never wanted a rottie either, but the male we have was raised by a DR1er with 2 small children, and they had to return to the UK. Matilda was fostering him at the time we went to visit her, and it was love at first sight between him and my husband. We ended up bringing him home, and was the best thing we ever did. He's much gentler than the female we have.
Now, we have his daughter here in NJ, brought her here as a 6 week old pup last year, raised her from birth, spoon fed her when mother went septic, the whole 9 yards. I'm still afraid of her around my grandsons [4 and 9] because they roughhouse.
So, I went from not wanting rotties to having 3 of them, 2 in DR and 1 in NJ. I know my husband was tempted when offered the pit bull, he mentioned it "in passing" to float the idea by me. :devious:
