re: Another kind hearted pit-bull

My brother's pit turned on his kids in the backyard. The oldest boy was walking to him to give him a hot dog and it lunged at him and attacked. I grabbed the shovel (thank God my brother had bought a premium branded one) and stunned it until my brother got his shotgun and finished the dog off. There was never any aggression shown by their dog in the 7 years they had him nor did he have any medical issues. The kids never bullied or teased him. In fact that dog defended my niece from another dog a year earlier. After that, no more pits or pit mixes in my family. Hell, I've owned 2 basset hounds and a golden retriever.. never had to worry about them going into kill mode.
