I had one like that as well. We had a Spitz who would lay with the cat on the porch all day long. , and a doberman came on to the yard, and when he flipped the Spitz over to work him, the cat lunged off the porch, and clawed the fuck out of the Dobie, and then the Spitz ran him off. Next week I bought my first pit. Well sort of.. 3/4 pit 1/4 Labrador.. And I was hooked. The rest is history, Damn near ruined my life. Lol
