Vintage pit bull photos

Mom has always had a love for Pit Bulls.  She has never encountered one that was mean or aggressive.  Her love started when she was a teen working as a vet tech.  A Pit Bull puppy came in very ill.  She was with the vet for a week and was the sweetest dog Mom had ever met.  No matter how bad she felt and how many times she got poked and prodded she stayed loving and friendly and eager to please.  Sadly she died from her unknown illness but Mom has bee obsessed with the breed since then.  

Mom has been doing a lot of internet searching on the "nanny dog".  It's just amazing to her that so many years ago the dog was used as a nanny for children.  It was a loyal family member and people trusted them with their children.  

How did we go from being viewed as man's best friend to being viewed as killers?  Here are some of Mom's fave photos.  As you can see, we are not all bad dogs!
