Aleesha, sorry. I should have stated that I definitely didn't mean she was absolutely abused. I just meant it is a possibility, because I know my girl was (i witnessed some of it with her second owner, unfortunately, i am her 4th). My brother had a pit bull that had a timid personality, and never endured any abused, ever. I know it can be personality. Again, I apologize. I didn't mean *all* timid dogs have been abused, at all. Just like people, we all have our own personalities.
