Pitbulls and Bully Breeds Are The Best Family Dogs

I know, I know. Pitbulls are the best. What? Did you think I was going to tell you they’re the worst? See below: so vicious, so mean. Meanest nap time you ever saw!

But here’s the thing: being a pit bull owner comes with the responsibility of being a good breed ambassador. There is too much breed-specific legislation, prohibitive insurance policies, and negative press out there. Every dog is a good dog, and deserves a loving, stable home where they can thrive.

Turns out, they might like their kitty siblings!

They also might really like their elders, especially for cuddle puddle snuggles.

Community nap is best nap. Guaranteed. Especially on the heated floor. Land hippos unite!

So, ARE pit bulls family dogs? YOU BETCHA.

Let’s get some positive pittie videos!

Hint: when the dog is really interested in your hiking boots, it is a sure sign that your entire apartment smells like a foot.
