I was wondering, what kind of reaction do your dogs get in public? How do people view your dogs? I'm especially curious to see how they're viewed in Canada, which has some BSL areas.
People usually think Voodoo is a pitty, and he occassionally gets some odd reactions because of it. For example, there are people who are initially leery of Voodoo, yet will approach Zeus without a problem.
Our local park has a nice walking/jogging track. I take the boys there fairly often because it's a great place to socialize. I once heard a lady say "I can't believe she brought a pit bull to a park. That's dangerous: there are kids here!"
When I lived in Austin, my pit bull Tank didn't get reactions like that. He was treated like any other dog. But then again, that was before BSL and so many pit bull maulings/deaths on the news.
What is the general tone in your area regarding pit bulls?
