I am a 25 year old female. I have been around dogs, puppies too, my whole life. I spent 5 years with the most aggressive Pit-bull, Bella, who hated me, but by the end I finally gained her trust and I became one of the only three people she would be OK with. Bella, taught me a lot about dogs and how you really need to build a rapport with them because they too can get scared and anxious just like people.
