Rescued Pit Bull Thinks He’s A Lap Dog

Ranger the pit bull spent the first part of his life living in a shelter. The poor pup had difficulty being adopted — likely because of his breed — so Brian and Jessie Gillespie decided to step in and foster Ranger in hopes of keeping him from being euthanized.

Pit bulls are one of the most misunderstood dog breeds in the world. Although they have a reputation for being vicious and mean, pit bulls can make very sweet and loyal family dogs when raised properly in a loving home —  and this video proves it!

In the video, Ranger, curled up on his foster mom's lap, is anything but vicious. Although he's a gentle giant, Ranger still thinks he's a tiny lap dog. Aww!

"He's a big softie who LOVES people. Jessie decided to let him up on her lap, and this was the result!" Brian wrote on YouTube.

When she gives the pit bull a belly rub, Ranger turns into mush and is just so sweet. It seriously doesn't get any cuter than this!

According to a post on YouTube, Brian and Jessie loved Ranger so much that they quickly gave up on the whole fostering idea and adopted Ranger.

"He's been a fantastic dog," Brian wrote on YouTube.
