Some adults would not dare to trust a dog that looks like a pit bull around their children, but they were actually bred, and then brought to America from overseas to take care of children while the adults worked. Being a caretaker to children is in their instincts. They are very sweet and amazing watch dogs, I should know, my dog is a pit bull, and he does not let me out of his sight sometimes.

Although pit bulls are portrayed as one of the least tolerant, and most aggressive dog breeds, it is actually the opposite. They are actually the second most tolerant and least aggressive breeds in the entire world. Their first instinct it not to bite if they feel a little threatened or scared, the mostly want to avoid confrontation. The bad rap they have comes from the terrible people who bred them to fight each other for gambling purposes, and even aggressive ones should never be given up on.
