I had a pit that was a scary-looking but sweet doofus. We lived in the middle of nowhere across the street from a cemetery, and during a burial he got out and went across the street to play with people.
Downside is his version of initiating play was to try and tug on pants with his mouth. That didn’t go well for a lady in pantyhose. Her ankle got scratched. Luckily, she came over and just asked about vaccine records and said she could tell he was just wanting to play. He dodged a needle that day.
He learned that play habit from when we had a 3 wheel ATV which he was afraid of, and he would try to pull the human off the scary machine by their pants. We accidentally taught him that was good by trying to calm him down. Whoops.
Otherwise we never had any issue out of him. Cats and kids could crawl all over him and he’d just wag his tail cuz all attention was good attention.
