Above all, the Pit Bull is an incredibly devoted dog. The breed becomes highly attached to its human family and will accept no others as long as it feels welcome at home as part of that family. As an extension of this attribute, it can also be a protective dog, and a powerful and protective, yet small and convenient, dog can be very useful in the right hands with responsible ownership. However, unlike many very devoted dogs, the Pit Bull can accept change. Should the unfortunate situation arise when a family must give up its pet Pit Bull, the dog will become dedicated to its new owner with time. Therefore, a “second-hand” Pit Bull may be a sound option for you to consider, particularly if you are familiar with the dog’s previous owners and their living situation.

Most of all, the Pit Bull is a fine companion dog. Those who know the breed will often tell you that, in their opinion, there can be no finer companion dog than the Pit Bull. It is a dog that will bond to its entire human family, but one that will always hold a special place in its heart for the person it decides is its closest friend. It is a dog that will always be there for its owner. It is a forgiving breed, an exceedingly loyal breed, a fun-loving breed and a lifelong friend.
