Kika

Pit bulls....but in my case not for the reasons people think.
Kika is the most amazing dog. She loves other dogs, people, and children. Amazingly behaved inside and outside, excellent in the car, never whines or barks, listens well, has no issues..... I couldn't ask for a better dog.
The hardest part about her is how society perceives her. I've never experience the amount of insults, confrontation, and uncomfortable situations walking down the street as I have with walking my beautiful (45 pound) Kika down the street. Oh...the tears I shed in the beginning because of all the scrutiny. The shelter warns you, and you think you'll be ok with it, but when you face it almost everyday it gets tiring.
Of course after a while you get use to it and realize she's well worth it.
So I would say that if you don't have a thick skin and care what other people think, a pit bull is not for you.
