2-5 pit bulls

I was trying to think of what to write today I remember a conversation I had with my dad. He has a dog and another dog keeps hanging around his house. Its part pit bull and I told him the dog scared me. I though it was going to bite me when it growled at me. He said I was being ridiculous. Brownie as he calls him wouldn’t hurt anyone, but added that his friend Richard didn’t like the dog either. I disagreed but I don’t live there so I didn’t say anything else. The next week he had an insurance inspector over to see about changing policies and he tells me that he thought Brownie was going to bit the guy and maybe he should get rid of him. I’m thinking to myself, duh, the dog is mean wouldn’t insure him unless he got rid of the dog. I’m thinking the insurance representative told him he had to get rid of the dog or he they wouldn’t cover him.

I know everyone says pit bulls get a bad rap, it’s all on the owner, but my dad is not mean. He loves animals and would give them food before feeding himself and this dog was not a nice dog. Maybe he was in an abusive home before my dad found him, but he couldn’t risk someone getting bit or worse. In the end he realized that he didn’t want to be responsible for Brownie hurting a person or his other dog. I didn’t ask what he did with him but I imagine he took him to the humane society. I don’t understand people who have pit bulls as pets. I personally wouldn’t feel safe in a house with one. They have an aggressive tendency that I don’t think they can control. It’s just how they are born.
