I like that idea. But I think Amy should get to name the dog, since she found her.
She is a really adorable happy-looking pup. Looks like you’re keeping her then - I’m glad; dogs of that breed don’t stand much chance of rehoming. I mean, it does happen, but the chances aren’t good. 2 dogs aren’t too difficult; it’s only when it gets above two that you run out of hands to hold the leashes.
She is lovely lovely lovely. Too bad the fuckers massacred her ears. :mad:
Can the vet do any sort of corrective surgery to make them look less horrible? Maybe round them a bit or something? If you want to do something like that, I’d gladly contribute to the cost.
What a lucky dog and you have an awesome daughter.
What a sweet little girl she is.
Just don’t name her *John Jacob *Jingleheimer Schmidt.
That’s my name.
Oh my god! That’s my name too!
Whenever you go out, you can hear the people shout…
For some reason, I think she looks like she should have some kind of silly girl name, like Lucy or Lulu Bell, but I agree that Amy should be the one who names her. She was the guardian angel.
That is one cute pooch, by the way, and she looks friendly as hell. I can understand why it would be hard to say no to that face.
I love brindle dogs. She’s very cute. She needs a pretty girly name to counteract the OMG its a pitbull reaction you’re going to get, especially with the butcher job on her ears.
I’m thinking maybe Sophie or Lily or Lilah.
I think we kinda like Lulu.
I love that and she’s adorable. I think it’s great when bully dogs have names like Lulu, or Tinkerbell or Bubbles .
Lulu is a very cute name for her. Though I think Maggie would be cute, too. She is such a doll! Happy New Dog to you!
Oh, she’s beautiful! Pitties are awesome. Congratulations to you and Lulu!
Cute dog, but just to counter all the “Pits are cool” comments, there’s no need to breed domestic dogs for massive powerful jaws. In fact, I’d say it’s a bad idea.
You won’t be doing that, but as a general principle…
What a beautiful dog! And what a great kid you have 
And thank you too for allowing your daughter to keep her!
Shoulda stopped there. Or even a word before.
Palo, I think your daughter definitely gets to name her. Great looking dog, though I have to admit her ears make me a bit sad. Great job, and I hope your home has room for one more. And if it doesn’t, you still need to do something special for your daughter, who did a Very Good Thing.
Yeah, that’s a crappy home crop.
Yes, great kid.
Yeah, I like goofy names for bullies. Goes with that big bully smile.
Well, you’ll be pleased to know it hasn’t actually occurred. 
Dr. Brady Barr measured dog bite force for National Geographic. Of the breeds tested, the pit bull had the lowest bite force in PSI. That’s probably because the other breeds were larger dogs. Dr. Barr concluded that bite force is (probably) proportional to a dog’s physical size, not breed-dependent. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a medium-sized dog; the median weight for a female should be 37.5 pounds.
Incidentally, the dogs tested by Dr. Barr averaged around 320 PSI bite force. That’s more than a human’s approximately 120 PSI, but not remotely comparable to a crocodile (6000 PSI) or most other large predators.
Palo Verde, there are some considerations unique to the bully breeds and pit bulls in particular (not the least of which is dealing with public perceptions and misinformation). I recommend going online and looking for rescue-friendly and non-profit sites (not commercial kennels!) for more information. Here are a few for starters:

If you don’t want to subject her to a cosmetic procedure to touch up her ears, but want to show she’s a beloved pet and not a fighter dog, might I suggest a pink collar or a cute bow on the collar (something that won’t catch a paw accidentally)? It might help show that regardless of what she and her ears might seem to some, she’s definitely a pet.
And what an adorable face.
