I do not like to hear a dog called a pit bull - that is a term used for pit fighting. I call the owners of the dogs pit bulls - the dogs are Staffordshire Terriers or other mix breed of terrier. We have a neighbor who has a Terrier, sweetest dog. When my husband had surgery, a guy brought a terrier into the waiting room. The dog laid on his back and was so comforting to the people who were waiting for their loved ones. And by the same - I have also seen "people" walking their terriers with heavy chains wrapped around the dog's body to "strengthen" them. Bull-loney!!!!!!!! The owners are the pit bulls - not the dog. I really take exception to a dog being called a pit bull. It is an insult to the dog. In my humble opinion. Edie
