WAYNE CHIRNSIDE was heard barking to ALL about Cop shoots dog!

Working at an Animal Shelter's Pet Hospital I totally agree with you.
Some of the nicest dogs I have met to date have been Pitties or Pittie
Crosses. I have found them on average to be big sweet lugs, or compact
cuddlers. Because of the way they were bred they DO have potential to
be very dangerous, but all of the nice pit bulls I have ever met
were gentle as lambs, playful and really quite the jokers. The ones that
did have owners seemed to be raised with firmness, but completely loving
attitudes from their owners.

There is NO ONE to blame but the irresponsible breeders who bred
ANY breed to be viscious and then complained when the dog turned on them.
Fortunately the trend seems to be to bring out the gentle, loving, family
oriented side of this misunderstood breed, and I can only hope that
some day their unfair reputation will be a memory.




.... My dog is confused: He chases bones and buries cars!
