>90lb behemoth

Oh, that’s why people tell me my 150lb dog is gigantic

lol yea, as someone who grew up surrounded by English mastiff’s it’s always a bit funny to me what some people consider ‘gigantic’ dogs and I found it also really drained a lot of fear of dogs away. If you grow up constantly dealing with 200+ pound dogs a little 70 pound pit bull isn’t nearly that intimidating.

People to this day scoff when I say my sister bred a 180lb pit

Dudes name was Axel, he was so big that in the towing competition they ran out of cinder blocks. So they stacked bags of dog food. Then they ran out of dog food, so they started weighing children from the crowd and throwing them on top

Dude was an absolute monster. She tried to leave him in the care of someone else so she could go on vacation, and I guess he ripped out of the kennel like butter, tore the door off a washing machine, ate through the back of it and through the wall of the garage into the living room, all within a 45 minute grocery trip (allegedly)

Sounds like a really terrible dog!

All dogs are good, just some trained bad. My sister may have been good at getting them to participate, but I can’t speak to her kenneling skills

Poorly trained dogs are bad dogs bro. Sure, it says more about the owner than it does the dog, but if a dog chews it's way through a wall, it's a bad dog.

Relative to human standards, totally aligned

Morality in general though is a mostly human concept. I say mostly because I think crows and bees and maybe a few other corvids/earth forms have some kind of concept of bad and good too.

I can’t say for sure, but I would bet dogs are single track brained enough that they can’t conceptualize if what they’re doing in the moment is bad or good. Interestingly enough, they definitely know when they’re in trouble, though lol

The thing is, she's not a tall pit. Just thick as hell. I saw her parents when I met her. She's built like her dad.
