Pit bulls are actually sometimes, really nice
Cesar Millan who has his own show on Nat Geo Wild called Cesar 911 works and owns his own pit bulls. He has had a dog named daddy who was raised with Cesar since 4 months old. Cesar had a large pack of dogs so it made daddy well socialized and never aggressive with other dogs. Daddy with two small boys of Cesar’s laying and sleeping on daddy he got the best play time with his kids and was calm and soft with Cesar’s kids. If other dogs were being mean to him he would just walk away and not start anything(Millan).

These dogs might look mean and aggressive If the dog is trained by someone to fight they will take the most time to open up.

They could also be dangerous to have around they could maybe bite your leg off. Some dogs look like pit bulls when they are not.
