It's not the breed, it's how it's raised.
It's not even the animal, it's how it's raised.
I've known pits that I wouldn't get within 10 feet of and I've known ones that I'd lay a newborn baby next to.
I've raised "vicious" animals - foxes, raccoons, prairie dog (sure she's small but she can take off a finger with one bite)... german shepherds, all kinds of animals. Pure sweethearts, all of them.
It's not the animal, it's how you raise it.
C_U_Next_Tuesday... I have a 5yr old and a 3yr old, both boys. When they go down for their "quiet time" (nap or just play quietly) in the middle of the day, I'm on the couch too. Hell, I sleep more on the couch at night than I do in my bed. 99% of the time I sleep on my couch.
I am a *little* more comfortable in this house than in my others - we did the "lock at the top of the door out of reach" thing and I was still worried (with good cause too, kidlet learned how to climb on a chair), we'd put things in front of the door, etc. etc. With this house the one door is locked from both the inside AND the outside (fire hazard I know but we've got windows to go out of) and the other door is nearly impossible for *me* to open because of the weird seal it has, the kids pulling together can't open it. (Yes, I've had them test it.) So I feel a bit better knowing that they can't get out of this house. Even still, my ass is on the couch. *sigh*
The real question here is why it took the mom 2 hours to call the police. Evidently she didn't bother to go outside looking for him herself, or she would've seen him in the neighbor's backyard. There's something VERY fishy going on there. Drugs, a boyfriend midday fuck going on, something.
That poor Dad. My heart is absolutely breaking for him.
