Default a pit for villi.....

meet jake, a brindled pit i met at the bar.....

_MG_8757

_MG_8740

_MG_8737

_MG_8727

without an aggressive bone in his body, jake was a little difficult to shoot.....he would either climb in his owner's lap or come running to lick my lens...

thanks, guys......

jake is as sweet a dog as i have ever seen.....it's not like he hangs out at the bar all the time.....his master said that jale has been raised on the go.....to work, the store.....where ever dad wants to be, jake is right there with him.....and anyone can touch him.....

when i first saw his coloring, i thought i'd have a hard time exposing for it......but, without having to deal with a coat that is part white, it came off fairly easily.....

my thanks again...

peeper

Great Captures! I had a friend that bought a Pit Bull to guard his tools in his garage.
When I went to his house he took me out to the garage and said, "Don't move too quickly and stay behind me until she gets introduced to you" I was a little nervous! But when we went in, she saw me, rolled over on her back and Pee'd straight up into the air! I laughed so hard I almost pee'd myself. Some guard dog...
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
