My mom absolutely HATED pit bulls and would always try to argue it with me that they were horrible dogs and they would turn on their owners. That was until I got Izzy and she joined a pit bull forum I was also on, now god forbid you ever say anything bad about them she will rip you a new one and has pictures on her fb about them. I guess it helped that she also got a English bull terrier (who before she would deny had apbt in them). My nana was the same way she thought Izzy was going to grow up to kill me and now Izzy is her favorite (and vis versa Izzy goes ape shit when she sees her). Izzy is generally the only big dog invited in her house and she always says how much of a good girl she is. I think she would proudly wear something saying she is her grandma.
