Particularly an ADOPTED pit bull! Who knows where he came from? Think the agency told the family: By the way, a child SCREAMING can launch a pit into attack mode?

The response my dog has to a screaming, crying child is to come over, wagging his tail, bowing submissively, and lick, lick, licking the upset and crying child until the child stops crying or starts laughing...whichever comes first.

But then my dog is not a pit bull.....

Thats one confused Nanny Dog!...The nutters are probably rationalizing that the dog was trying to get the ants off the child.

Let's hope the adopting agency carefully evaluates this placement.

There is only one reason and that is a gene that causes a defect in the brain which expresses itself in aggressive behavior and the inability to control this behavior. It's not how you raise them, it's not what you do or don't do, it's in their genes.

The list continues to increase for pit bull triggers. This time it is a man talking (talking not yelling) at his wife.
