Remember that ad campaign about asking if there are guns in the home before sending your kids over to play? I took that one to heart… with pitbulls instead of guns.

My kids have a great time at their friends’ houses that have pugs and labs and shit.

Pediatricians even ask this shit! As soon as we said we had a Lab they were like “ok great not a bully breed”. Like I get it, some pits are sweet and gentle, but they can turn aggressive quickly and the result can be catastrophic.

My sibling was bit in the face by a lab. Almost got their eye. People assuming all labs are ok isn't great either.

No one assumes every dog is great. But some are definitely dangerous.

My kid’s friend has a non pit who bites every kid who goes to that kid’s house so now the friend only comes to our house and we stay off their property.

Parents need to report that. A dog that bites every kid it meets needs to be culled.

Yes! When my daughter begins school next year, and begins to go over friends homes, you bet I’ll be asking what kind of dog you have over there
