I wanted to share an amazing website I recently discovered via Sam's twitter account. It is stubbydog.org, and is dedicated to redefining the reputation of the pit bull breed through positive and amazing stories about these incredible dogs and the people who love them. Sam is not a pure-bred pit bull, but the vet says she has some in her. Many mixed breed dogs do. Unfortunately, they are one of the most prevalent breeds in animal shelters across the country. Mostly due to their negative reputations and improper breeding for improper purposes.
Pit bulls are incredibly smart. Multiply their intelligence by how loyal they are and you have a great friend for life. It's not the dog that's bad, it's the ignorant people who make them bad. The irony is, once taught to behave this way, these dogs are so loyal, all they want to do is make their master happy. Imagine how wonderful they are when taught to be well-behaved.
I personally think pits are beautiful dogs. I hope that websites like stubbydog.org and all the other champions for the breed can someday make a positive change in how they are perceived.
