American stafford terriors are such a loving and caring pet. Their image is brought down by the public that doesnt understand them and the people who dont treat them right. Yes..they do have the abilty to hurt someone but that wont happen if they are treated right and cared for and loved. They are harmless if treated the right way and as matter of fact i have seen cases where pitbulls are more friendly and loveable then most of the little cuddly dogs. They are good with children, strangers and other dogs.
