My Pit Bull stares after my trip. Is he mad or will he attack?

Question

I left my house for 4 days, my brother watched my Pitt bull for me. Now that I am home, he's acting weird towards me. He is staring directly in my eyes for a long time, and not doing that to anyone else. He will not stop staring at me. He sits outside my door. I'm afraid to leave my bedroom. He bowed down in front of me and has licked his lips a few times. He stands or lays down perfectly still and makes prolonged eye contact. Is he angry at me? Is he going to attack me if I leave my room? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 years old | 50 lbs

Hello, its likely that Zeus is seeking your attention more so than being angry at you. Often dogs show aggression, by growling and grinning their teeth at you. I would apprach Zeus in a neutral environment. Have him removed from your room by another family member and meet him outdoors so that he may smell you and interact with him there. Alternatively, you can call him into your room and see if he is more friendly then. If you are still concerned that he may bite you, then do not approach him until you have someone else with you. Most often however, dogs that are protective an aggressive will show these behaviors obviously, and its highly unlikely that he is mad at you for being away for 4 days. He is more likely curious and wants to interact with you. Hope this helps and best of luck.
