my son asked if he could get a pit bull, I talked to the vet first and he said pit bulls where the best of dogs to get because they were very good with children. so I let him get it. tad pole is his name, and the vet did not lie. he said people make a dog mean. that dog is so wonderful with my grandchildren, he will not let you rough house, he dose not like when people wrestle it up sets him.
