My daughter says she is very good with the children, doesn't bark or jump on people when they come in the house, is lovable and cuddles, etc.
I know Rachel Ray has a pitbull and talks about how the dogs have gotten a bad rap but I still don't feel real comfortable about this.
Do you think I have reason to worry.

My DD inquired about this former owner and was told he was informed by his uncle that his dogs (there was another one besides the own my DD took) would be put up for adoption. He was okay with it as long as they went to loving homes. After his tour in Afghanistan he will be sent to a base somewhere and won't be able to take the dogs. The shelter won't give out his name but she is trying to find a way to let him know the dog will be loved and well cared for.
Update: DD learned "Fancy" is scared to death of the vacuum cleaner. She ran to the basement and hid until DD went down to let her know all was okay.
