i have an american bulldog. a scott type. i didnt search him out i actually saved him from a home where he was neglected. he looks a lot like a pitbull, but he's a lot bigger. he absolutely loves people. he's the greatest dog ive ever seen with kids and he just turned a year old last month. he weighs a little over 90 lbs and is all muscle and growing.

i get many people who give me nervous looks, but my wife gets people who actually want to start fights with her and give her shit about having the dog. a woman the other day looked at my dog riding in my van with my 2 daughters and gave her the whole "how dare you" speech. i know dogs. i know my dog. i know that without the terrier blood in their breed they are one of the most docile and obedient breeds when it comes to humans... not to say they arent stubborn... they absolutely are... but they want to please people to the point they will sacrifice themselves for you if they feel you are in danger.

anyway i don't mean to rant but i've seen mean beagles and golden retreivers and pit bulls that have performed heroic acts for people.

its good to see the dogs going to homes. pit bulls are also usually very good dogs. there have been huge problems in breeding to produce aggressive bloodlines, but for the most part they are very much like the american bulldog.
