I got A puppy in January!!! She is sooo freakin cute. But yes she is a pitbull....and no she isnt violent!!! I got her for free and she has had many names: tiger, fat girl, sucka, and mama....Mama is what stuck. Having a dog is like taking care of a child, they eat poop and sleep, and every once in a while you play with them...and occasionally beat them. haha.
