I am with you! Animals are a reflection of their owners! I have a pit bull and he is the sweetest dog I have ever had. He has grown up with a Chihuahua, shih-tzu, 2 cats, 8 chickens 2 goats and 2 children. The only time he barks is to let me know someone is in my yard. In my opinion it is like saying all people are evil just because there are some bad apples in the bunch.
