My View on Pitbulls


Friend or Foe? I believe friend. I have owned a couple of American Pitbull Terriers in my life time, and they were the best suited breed for me. I was raised with dogs, extending, but not limited too, Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, MuttsDachshunds, Dobermans, Rottweilers, German Shepards, Bichon Frises, Labradors, Golden Retreivers, and I'm sure more. Out of all of them, the Pitbull was the most friendly, eager to please, energized, loyal, family loving, protective dog I've been around. They are very sweet and attentive. They have a strong urge to please their owners, which is probably why they get such a bad rap. Dog fighters probably choose this dog, besides its strength, jaw, and being bred to fight, because of wanting to make them happy. Hey, you kicked that other dogs ass! Good job! Be aggressive towards everyone but me! Good Dog! Now the dog is happy it made its owner happy. The dog doesn't know any better, and the fact that people want them outlawed is, well, ridiculous. Do you ban kids who's parents raised them to steal, lie, and cheat there way through lives? No, most the time someone tries to step in and save them. Either they straighten up, or end up in prison, but thats a choice they made. Pitbulls only choose to make their owners happy. One of my pitbulls I adopted was from a fighting ring. He was going to be Euthenized. I admit, he was pretty aggressive when I first got him, but with work and training, he is now a great, lovable family dog, who gets a long with others dogs. Sure, people don't have time to save the dogs that have already been traumatized, but what about the ones who were raised in great families and wouldn't hurt a fly if their life depended on it. These dogs don't deserve to be banned. How would you like it if your Labradoodle or Chihuahau became a dangerous breed, and they were talking about exterminating them? All because a select few had owners who let them bite people, or treated them poorly and didn't socialize them, so they were aggressive? You wouldn't like it. You would stick up for your dog, with your life if you had too. Well it's the same with Pitbulls. Before you "dog" on them, find a good owner with common sense on how to take care of them, and give one a chance. The news only shows bad stuff about these dogs the majority of the time. What about the good stuff? Wheres the stuff about the Pitbull being the Nations mascot in WWI? Wheres the news about the Pitbull who saves 50 people from drowning? You hardly ever see this stuff. So quit feeding into the media, and give this dog a chance.
