Its hit and miss here. Some people really love the bullies and some hate them. I have had Ike for almost 2 years and the neighbor across the street as well as the one next door to me haven't even given him a pet although Ike has tried to make friends by using the sad AB face as a ploy for attention. They also won't even come near Rita. The other lady across the street and the neighbor on the other side of me love both Ike and Rita and so do their kids.

At the city park I like to walk in I have had some rude looks, rude comments, people obviously avoiding walking near the dogs and the like. I have also had people practically making out with my dogs and others who stop for a quick petting and to ask what Ike is since AB's aren't too common around here. The people at the park who want to love on my dogs usually say something like " I had one once. Best dog I ever owned" or " I have a Pit Bull at home."

My closest friend and her boyfriend just got a female Pit pup they named Missy. Missy lives with my friend since her boyfriend cannot have a dog where he lives. He is in the process of trying to buy a house. He just got divorced and is starting over. He has his two young daughters on the weekends and when they told their mother that daddy got a doggie said mother flew off the handle when she discovered the breed. Prejudice is everywhere.
