My comment about getting a pit bull was mainly to point out that these
days it seems that one needs an "Intimidator" around to deter thieves.

All animals are....animals! And there is "always" a certain
unpredictability about them no matter what we think about them.

In my own experience Pit Bulls are very loving animals, love
children,get uuset when a child is seemingly in distress,  are
protective of what they percieve as their family or their turf. Make
great pets.

On the other hand, I have see pit bulls that were obviously trained to
be dangerous. And that is to bad that people do that to the breed.

But even so, all animals are unpredictable. Most deer run from people in
the wild., but in my region a man was attacked and skewered to a tree by
a Buck whitetail deer. Family pets have attacked their owners for no
understandable resaon - at least human understanding. Who knows what the
pet thought.

There is always a risk with any animal we keep as pets or protectors.
