There are so many stories of pitbulls being great and perfect companions until one day something sets them off (a new person, a smell, a movement) and they get laser-focused on attacking something or someone, ignoring every thing else around them. They are so strong and can easily overpower people.

I like dogs and I like pitbulls, but I would never adopt one.
