Have you ever wondered why your top-loading washing machine has a large bladed spindle located in the middle of its tub? Simply put, that large cylinder, which is refereed to as an agitator, circulates in multiple directions to push and pull the water in the machine.

I have two dogs myself and neither of them are Pits (I have a Lab and Jack Russel). I always liked the Pit breed ever since I was a little kid.

The desire to live by the rules, and follow their everyday morals and the urge to become savages and hunt to survive.
