question about camping with a pittbull
The wife and I just bought a camper and want to get back into camping. This time around we have two dogs. Both are rescue "mutts" and one is part Pitt. First campground I called to make a reservation ...

Years ago I had a purebred boxer. She was all white and had been rescued at birth and then fed 1/2 can of cat food per day for an unknown number of years. This was in the 70s, when the term "pitbull" was becoming widespread.
Her ears were down, her tail cut too short, she was shorter and stockier than a boxer should be and her nose was too squashed.
I'd take her to the neighborhood park and kids would run up to her screaming in joy. The parents would be running behind yelling "don't touch it, it's a pitbull!". By the time the parents reached the kids, they were already hugging and kissing the dog. The parents would still be yelling about the dangerous pitbull. I would say " she's not a pitbull, she's a boxer" and the parents would immediately relax and say "OK then" .
Point: people don't react logically to dogs.
