Once every week I visit Petsmart and bring my dog Shadow.Many people especially children will walk up to Shadow and give him lots of pats.Once I explain what mix of breeds he his they immediatley walk away.Here is one example, a young girl about 8 years old asked to pet Shadow.I told her "Sure!".The mother of the girl asked me what breed of dog Shadow is.I explained he was a mixture of breeds including American Pit Bull Terrier.She said "I am very positive Pit Bulls are dangerous animals".Right after her statement the mother picked up her child and walked away.This has happened many times abd I am not sure how to react to this surcamstance.Has anyone ever experienced this or has any ideas to comfort the parents,children, and anyone who pats my dog Shadow?
