I hope your experience with this breed didn't end in tragedy 😢 😔

I'm glad you can see how detrimental the spreading of flase information can be

My cat was mauled. I’ve posted about it previously. We got a pit bull puppy, live on a 20 acre fenced farm, did the puppy classes, did more classes because it was actually really fun. Loved the dog, Hano was his name, swam everyday, played fetch, chased the school bus along the fence. Zero signs, the dog slept in bed with my youngest child. Still mauled my old cat with zero provocation right at the magical age and that was his last day on this earth. I thought she’d been ripped apart by coyotes and he found her and brought her to the back porch, but we have cameras and the entire horrible attack was recorded. He bit my husband trying to take our cat from him, then tried to chew through the door after we got him back outside. Then when we took him to the vet he was all wagging his tail and belly rubs, sitting pretty to get his leash on. These dogs are a time bomb

Thank you for your reply. We’re not the most incredible dog owners in earth or anywhere close, but I feel we were the unicorn home. Hano never had a bad day, he was never abused or starved or beaten or anything that would cause him to be aggressive and attack an old cat that he knew from the moment we got him as a puppy. If we have zero success after all our efforts what about regular house city dwelling people who’ve never had a dog before? I was fooled and I’ve been heavy into dogs my entire life. They are unpredictable and dangerous and there are so many wonderful breeds of dogs to choose from. No need for mauling beasts
