Why do people adopt pit bulls? It is always the same dog in all these articles.

This is what people don't understand about pit bulls.

If you're their owner, they're sweet and nice to you. But once you have kids, or have them around someone weaker...if you're not around, they may attack. They're emotionally unstable dogs that were bred to fight.

So, yes, they are super nice....but mostly to their owners.

Either way, every dog has to be trained around human children, at the very least not to bully them, push them out of the way, or hump them.

I personally know a child that was attacked by the family pit.

Not a family dog breed.

In Ohio a few weeks ago, a pittie attacked its owner. Mauled her to death. Woman had owned the dog for years. The breed was bred to fight other dogs. Was not bred to be a house pet.
