I think just because people say pitbulls are bad and mean is not true and most of the time it is how the owner treats and teaches the dog .I have two pitbulls mocha and meesha and they are sweet and they would never hurt anyone the only reason they would is if someone was messing with us or hurting us that is the only reason.Not all pitbulls are the same it is how they arre treated and rased.PITBULLS ARE GOOD DOGS and i love them.
