"A breed of satin and steel. Pit bulls are a mixture of softness and strength, an uncanny canine combination of fun, foolishness, and serious business, all wrapped up in love."

5 Reasons So Many Pit Bulls Love Kids

StubbyDog investigates why dogs adore children

(Reprinted from StubbyDog.org)

1) Kids are the perfect height for kissing.

2) Sharing is easy: Multiple dogs and kids can all fit on the couch together!

3) Children are soft and squishy for cuddling – and so are pit bulls!

4) Kids love to play as much as dogs do.

5) Little ones and their pit bulls can speak without saying a word.

Editor’s note: It’s important to teach children proper dog etiquette, and always supervise their play (this is true for all breeds!). Here are some tips from the ASPCA.

    1. This is my picture, and it is most definitely not photo shopped!! I was at a summer camp and had just finished giving a talk on safety and dogs, and my dog Amerikiss decided to show off her slide skills!! I was there and saw it with my own eyes--

      Don't you have anything better to do with your time????

    The above is a link for parents with ANY breed of dog. Pit bulls are know for being patient and tolerant, but be careful, parents.

    1. A little prejudiced against the pit bulls I see. Nice of you to state that pitties are great with kids, BUT......load of shit. All dogs are just as dangerous when they a) have a shitty owner, b) have to put up with kids that have shitty parents and do not teach them about dogs..ALL DOGS.
