A Pit Bull Dog’s PR Problems

After my encounter last night, I wanted to read up on this fascinating breed of dog.  So, I’ve been researching Pit Bulls.  This particular dog was the second Pit Bull I’ve met in my life - and they were honestly two of the friendliest dogs I’ve ever come across. Very playful and affectionate —-to people.  They chase cats….what dog doesn’t?  Even Wednesday would if he could see it, hear it, or wasn’t intimidated by it.

After reading a few articles, I started thinking - I wanted to come back and make sure that I didn’t give an unfair representation of the breed.  It chased the cats, just as a beagle, German Shepherd, Poodle, or Lab would have done.  It never growled at me, and never once made me feel unsafe or threatened.  I was scared to death for my beloved cats, but never for myself. The only reason I mentioned the breed was out of respect to its strength, determination, and speed.  They’re like body builders who happen to be track stars. Amazingly strong and fast.

At any rate, HERE’s an interesting post about the breed and its PR problems. If I weren’t such a cat person and didn’t have a small, helpless dog - I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to buy a Pit Bull puppy and make him part of the family.  I mean, I tackled this guy twice and only got slobbered on as a result.
