Got to love pits. One of the best dogs I ever had was a pit. Found her at 6 weeks old on the street in Baltimore outside penn station. Hence her name, Penny. She had some issues from being taking away from her mom so young, but was a great and fiercely loyal girl!
My sister lives in LA and volunteers at Angel City Pits, a pit rescue organization out there.
Sadly, pits, like snakes, often get an undeserving and bad rap.
