Meet Hulk, the world’s largest pit bull. He is only 18 months old but already weighs three times more than a regular pit bull.
Technically, Hulk is still a puppy and is bound to grow to be about twice as large. But before you bolt out, this gentle giant will prove to you that the misconceptions about his breed are anything but true.

Hulk’s big build and infamous breed might be a menacing combination, but you’ll be surprised to know that this alpha dog lives with the Grannan family in New Hampshire.

“I have no concerns about any of the dogs around my son. They’re amazing family dogs.

Can you get kisses and cuddles from your pit bull pet?
What most people don’t understand is that pit bulls need constant human interaction.
