Once we're away from the house he's just interested in other dogs like any other dog.

He's never attacked another dog and he was actually attacked by a bigger dog one day when someone came up behind us with no warning while we were waiting to cross the street. However little dogs ALWAYS act aggressive towards him and try and attack. I had to punt a little lap dog the other day cause it came at us and the owner had it off the leash. If I didn't kick it away my dog definitely would have finished the job.

I've been chased by a rottie when I was a teen because it thought I was coming on it's property, I've been chased by MANY small dogs while biking, but NEVER had an issue with pit bulls and I've been around dozens.

Fuck bad dog owners.
