In reply to the discussion: Pit Bulls Were Never "Nanny Dogs". Never. It's A Myth [View all]baldguy
(36,649 posts)74. My neighbors' kitty picks on my Pit Bull every day.
Orchid just wants to play & be friends, but the little killer cat will have none of it. His name is Sabre -and it fits too. When the cat comes into Orchid's yard hunting pigeons or mice, the dog will come bounding up to him all goofy & silly, and the cat will stop, stand his ground and hiss at her. That stops Orchid in her tracks. She knows that if she gets too close she'll get poked in the nose or scratched, and Sabre knows that this is HIS territory, no matter who happens to be occupying it at the time. After a little back & forth Orchid usually comes to her senses & lets Sabre go on his way. But the next day it'll start all over again.
It's hilarious watching this little 8 lb black cat staring down a 65 lb Pit Bull - and winning!

The problems aren't caused by the dogs -its humans who just get the dog they deserve.

I think some take the term "nanny dog" too literally. It just means they were good
