Pit bulls are 'love bugs,' but can be dangerous for small children

Commerce Humane Association

Commerce  Humane Association president  Jody McIntier says pit bulls are loving and loyal dogs, but their powerful physiques and jaws make them more dangerous than other dogs.  She says they are good family pets, but cautions against pit bulls as pets for families with small children.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
