Love a Dog, Especially a Pit Bull :) August 4, 2010

    Going anywhere with my dog is very amusing.  Now everyone thinks that of their dog, but my dog makes people cross the street in fear.  She is a 90 pound boxer /pit bull mix and she scares people to the point that I have to laugh because she doesn’t even bark – she just looks at them.  People judge her and see a big and violent dog because that what people are trained to believe from our media and their own fears.  What’s funny is if you actually came up to my dog the worst she would do is lick you to death. 

     I took my dog to the vet yesterday, and when people would enter the vet’s office they would look our way and then walk the other way.  I heard one lady say look at the big pit bull with that little girl.  I had to laugh out loud because my goofy dog thinks she’s 25 pounds instead of 90. She is a lover of all animals and other people, especially kids.   I’m a firm believer of blame the deed, not the breed.  A pit bull is like any other dog, and just like any other dog they are only as mean as they have been trained to be. 

     There are many pit bulls in rescues and the humane society.  They make up over 50% of your local shelter and are euthanized daily.  You have to meet special regulations to adopt a pit bull (such as have a tall enough fence, meet an age limit, etc).  I can honestly say that my rescue boxer/pit mix is the best dog I have ever had in my entire life, and I have had over 10 dogs.  Even if you don’t save a pit bull please look into the rescues and humane society instead of spending the hundreds of dollars from a breeder or store.  Dogs from the humane society and rescues normally cost around $100 and come fixed.  Petfinder.com is how I found my dog and the site is nationwide.  It allows you to look at shelters, rescues and humane societies.  Now you have the tools to go find your next best friend/family member, so go save a dogs life and make yours more amusing. :)

     P.S.  To anyone who read my previous blog, I did buy my dog a bacon cheeseburger today for having to stay the night at the vet’s office :)
