    Agreed! The only thing I feared when getting a Pit was the big Target she had on her! And she has a better behavior than most peoples kids! Any dog can be raised vicious! Even my mosquito of a Min Pin. Owners do need to take responsibility for their dogs’ actions. They are raising them! Do it right! About the magazine, do you have a link to that article? It would be interesting to look into it.

    I searched Archived Sports Illustrated on google and it gave me
    sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/. Thru other research I found it was in 1987 so I looked up 1987 issues and found it. You can’t miss it the cover is horrible. You can then read the artilces in that issue and I printed it. Its 6 pages printed. But I have to say after reading the article it is pretty good. It’s not what you expect after seeing the cover. There are a lot of quotes standing up for the breed and the history of the breed and saying its the owners.

    This is the full link to the article. It was a very interesting read. It amazes me that in 23 years, societies outlook is still very similar. I agree that the cover is misleading. The story is more factual than not. The writer did his research for sure. It kind of upsets me though. Every owner is responsible for training their dog properly and making sure it is a civilized dog. I have found a new passion from adopting Katara. I promise that I will never let her become what so many people believe she is. She’s not a monster. Thank you for sharing this article.
