Haha, I hear ya. My parents said the same thing. Even made me muzzle my dog when they came over or I brought it over. Their problem was they had never been around the breed, all they ever had known was the negative reputation the media associates them with.
Ps. I love Dante, he is soo cute. Theirs just something about Pitbulls eyes that melts me.
You can totally see how much they love you in their eyes.
