re: A cop helps out a pit bull

The dog I had as a kid was a pit. We got her as a puppy and she was black, so she was advertised as a "black lab mix." After about a year it was clear that she wasn't a lab when her snout rounded into shape and she didn't grow past 50 lbs.

I know one dog isn't a representative sample, but she was the least aggressive, most loving dog I've ever been around. Never had any issues with her (although she did kill several squirrels and ducks that wandered into our yard).
