I began working with them at the Humane Society. They do have a large powerful jaw.

Now I love them. Most are so gentle. A few are too rambunctious for me. But the thing that gets me is the abuse some of those dogs take. One recently had been used for fighting. Or at least was savaged by other dogs. He’s been here for weeks, in our rehab, in foster care. He is covered in scars. 😢 but so gentle.
