I've owned staffs and bull terriers and mixtures of the two. Back in the ninetys these breeds much like bit bulls attracted so much bad attention which was totally unfair. Imo they are extremely loving and gentle dogs. Here's Hugo my current dog in his prime, 35 kilos of devil dog and miley the staffy loving my daughter.

Yep it's too bad they get the bad rap. It all has to do with how they are raised. And love the pic a couple of great looking dogs there.
 
Here's a change from those gorgeous dogs.....my little guinea pig! Provided with copious quantities of hay & greens she quite happily produces endless free root tabs! 😂
As well as her we have two aquariums, three pond fish, five rabbits and six cats!

Only pet I got are these. Great thing is that you don't need to take care of them. They come and go from and to the house as they wish. They also eat mosquitos and flies.

Occasionally we get the visit of a distant relative. They roam all around the neighborhood. He is very loud and could bite if you feel like teasing him.

They are loving creatures though.

Guinea pig's furious now....stamping round her cage muttering "Who you callin' a hamster? Just 'cos I ain't got no tail to wag! Grrr!"
Just to make the dog lovers happy there's a miniature schnauzer & a collie/labrador cross living with other family members! 😂
 
I kept a Guinea pig when I was young, she was called Jenny and later Jennapig.
That was about 50 years ago but I can still remember her funny squeaks and darting movements but she was never a creature that enjoyed a cuddle.
Do any Guinea pigs share affection with their human carers?
 
I had male gp a very long time ago who liked nothing more than a lap to sleep on & was allowed free run in the house during the evening. He'd trot from the living room to the kitchen for a couple if slices of fruit!
This little girl is quite communicative, getting excited when food is offered & is happy to be held but is bit of a fidget!

I asked my daughters they have two of them. And say that they come for them to be pet but besides that don't seem to care much for their caretakers.
There is a documentary on netflix about them. 'Schlaue meerschweinchen' that says they are pretty social animals.
 
Here is one of my ‘long gone‘ pets, my crow called Edgar who I found on the ground when I was 14 years old, about 48 years ago now!
My sister said that was going through my no hair washing phase…..
