The K9 Unit in Chicago has a pit bull problem. In a team which includes german shepherds and a blood hound, the pit bull is standing out as hard to train because they’re just too nice;
A pit bull named Elliot Ness is anything but untouchable. Loving and friendly, these traits keep most pit bulls from being good police dogs.
“The main problem we’re finding with pit bulls is that they’re too darn nice. All they want to do is just sit at your feet or crawl in your lap. They’re very nice dogs,” said Deborah Thedos, Cook County K9 Unit.
Police officers main contact with pit bulls is when they break up dog fighting rings. When encountering these dogs they found that they were anything but vicious.
“We knew from the get-go that these dogs, they aren’t made this way,” said Sheriff Tom Dart, Cook County.
For Elliot Ness’s partner the pit bull is much more than just a dog.
“He’s my best friend. He’s my friend. He’s my baby and he knows it.”
Thanks to Caveat for the tip.
