Some dogs have a bad vibe too I love dogs and they tend to love me but there’s one nerdy board game couple here we go to their house and they got a husky and the dog has never bitten anyone but there’s something in that dogs vibe or eyes or general aura I just don’t trust.
I would never put my face in his face to kiss him on the head or something like I’d do with most dogs and I’m careful with my emotions around him I can literally feel him picking up on it if I get anxious around him at all, his ears get super pointy and he stares at me really intently. Kinda creeps me out.
The reality is facts and data are one thing, perception is another. Often times perceptions don't match facts whatsoever.
One can argue whether or not pitbulls are more dangerous, but people's perceptions are that they are more dangerous, you'll have a tough time changing that.
That's one of the reasons I've never been interested in owning a pitbull, being covered in tattoos and walking around with one isn't exactly inviting to people. I'd prefer owning a dog that makes people comfortable, a dog that people wouldn't feel afraid to interact with in public.

Like whenever I see someone walking a pit bull I generally think A) are you naive, B) are you doing this for some sort of reason for appearances etc. or C) are you the type thinking you’re the one to save this dog
If I see someone walking a lab or virtually any other dog (outside of maybe a Chiuahaha or some shit, you’ve got your own problems then ) I never have those thoughts cross my mind once even if the dog is jumping around and acting erraticly, because generally, I know the temperament of these dogs are not one of aggression

I have never sought out any one breed of dog. I just go to the shelter and meet a nice one and take it home when I can. Odds just dictate that it’s going to be a pit mix because the intact dogs wandering around the res are mostly pits, shepherds, rottis and huskies.

Although I have never had a pet, let alone a dog, you make a good point about perception of breeds of dogs and the reality of being a pet owner.
Speaking of dogs or pets, here is a wild story about former basketball player Shaquille O'Neal meeting Tyson and his white tiger back in the day.
Iron Mike's larger than life personality and great physical strength was needed to keep that tiger on its best behaviour. I remember the first Hangover movie with Tyson and his white tiger. Tyson definitely likes his wild cats:
Shaq recalled how he met Tyson for the first time while he was serving time in prison in the early '90s. When he was released on parole in 1995, he invited Shaq to visit his home before his first comeback fight. "Before his fight, he says, 'Hey, come to the house,'" said Shaq. "So, we come to his house, ring the bell. Ding-dong. I hear a, 'Come in!' So, I open the door, right? There's nobody in the lobby... I start walking, [and] a fucking tiger comes running down the stairs."
Around this time, Tyson owned a white tiger named Kenya that he was often photographed with. "I'm turning around, trying to get to the thing, and then Mike came and he start wrestling the tiger," he continued. "I told my boy, 'I'm not a gambling man, but I wish I had a million dollars to put on the fight. I just seen this man stop a fully grown tiger.'"
Shaq asked Tyson if he remembered the incident, and he confirmed and admitted that he would often sleep in the same bed as his tiger. "You gotta be with them everyday," said Tyson. "I'm getting ready to get a cheetah, but I'm not going to let my wife know." He added that he had Kenya pretty much from the moment they were born.
Asked if he was big spoon or little spoon when he would sleep in the same bed as his tiger, Tyson said, "Well, at one time I held them and as they got older, they held me." He said he never got bitten by his tiger, but when he owned a lion, he was bitten. Tyson also shared that he bought the house next to his so his other wild cats could live there. "My tiger didn't like them in the house," he laughed. "So, I let them have their house and let the tiger stay with me."
I thought they were called pescatarians? Anyway it's all BS people will draw boundaries and justify anything in order to feel superior about themselves.
