[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1139705, member: 14668"] Please tell me you haven't bought into the hype and false stereotypes about pit bulls. They get a lot of hysterical media attention but the [I]reality[/I] is that properly raised and socialized pit bulls make very good pets. I have been delivering to this particular stop for over 15 years now, and every pit bull they have ever had has been a face-licking biscuit-mooching lap dog.
