About a week after I got the puppies, I was at the local post office. My neighbor accused my "dogs" of eating their chickens. My pups were only 9 weeks old and couldn't even go down stairs by themselves.
I explained that they were puppies, that I have a giant fenced yard, and that it was physically impossible for them get out of their yard at this point.
My neighbor: "Are you sure your dogs didn't kill my chickens?"
me: Yes 100%. (they were not convinced at all) 
I love ALL Dogs. Especially bully breeds.

Pitbulls can be quite territorial and aggressive when you aren't watching them. My neighbors pitbull used to get out of the house then charge at people nearby, including myself. When I told them their dog was out of control and doing things like that, they refused to believe that such a sweet dog would randomly charge at people. It must be my fault somehow or I'm biased against pitbulls, or "I promise he's not going to bite you", or "He's never hurt anyone before". Happened about 4 or 5 times while I was doing yard work. I think they finally caught him doing it to someone walking by on the street who yelled at them for it before they did anything about it.
