0 Pooches:Cat Calls or Name Calling

Just the other day as we were waiting to cross the street, minding our own business, when a guy in a Range Rover swerved dangerously close to us, hanging his head out the window and yelling: "Those are some beautiful dogs!"
Mr. B blushed while Miss M nodded in agreement.

The biker waiting at the light next to us and started laughing telling us "I can't believe your dogs just got cat-called".
The funny thing is, we do get a lot of drive-by compliments.
And walk-by compliments.
And stop to give the pooch a smooch compliments. Often several times during a single walk.
What is rare is for us to hear negative comments about being pit bull-type dogs. I can probably count on a single hand how many times people have said negative things.

I'm not sure whether it's because Chicago is an exceptionally dog-friendly city, because we live in a diverse part of the city, or because perceptions of pit bull-type dogs really are changing.
Though one of our SociaBulls friends just mentioned how things are still really hard for pit bull owners in other parts of the country.
So we were curious....what is the current perception of pit bull-type dogs in your area? Do they seem to get more cat calls? Or name calling?
