Good for you for rescuing a dog and good for her to have found a good home. It sounds like a good match.

I am just worried about the people that perpetuate the stereotype. It seems like so many pit owners are either people that are desperate to disprove the stereotype and have no idea how to handle the dogs or they are people who love the stigma of having a badass dog which does neither they nor the breed any good.
