1. I love pit bulls, many people know that about me. I try so hard to educate as many people as I can about pit bulls.
2./3.The Media has a lot to say about the Pit bull breed. Articles are published all the time, talking about pit bull attacks. What many people don't realize, is that there are dog attacks everyday that are not done by pit bulls. Most news papers and T.V. stations don't talk about other types of dog attacks because people are not interested in them. New stations know when there is a pit bull attack people will want to listen, because many of them think they are dangerous.
4./5. These are some words that may come to mind when you think of a pit bull. Most of these views are because of media. People think the dog is going to tear their face off. I was walking wallace the other day, and a little boy wanted to pet him. The mother said no, because dogs that look like that aren't nice. The lady next to her told her daughter she could pet him. The first lady was astonished when the other lady let her daughter pet him, but I think she was even more surprised when Wallace licked her face instead of chewing it off.
6.Breed-specific legislation is a horrible thing. It is a law that restricts certain breeds to be in that area. This law could be different from city to city. I sometimes have to look up where I can and can't take Wallace. This law isn't just for pit bulls, there is a whole list of dogs that could be banned. It just so happens that Pit bulls are more commonly banned.
7. Take a second and look over each picture. There is only ONE pit bull. Think about which one you think is the pit bull and let me know.
8. Were you surprised? I was. I took a test online and had no clue which ones were Pits.
9. Places that they have BSL, cops need to learn to identify the pit bulls, but the only problem is that a lot of non pit bull dogs have pit bull characteristics. How can we ban a dog if we don't even know which on it is?
10.Dog fighting has been around since the 1800's. Back then it wouldn't matter the type of dog you had, you could still fight it for money. People began breeding bull dogs with more muscles, and features they liked, and after a few generations the fighting dog was the pit bull.
11. But why the pit bull? Because they are big and muscular? And have lock jaw?
12.  ( they don't have lock jaw)Pit bulls are fought because they are the most loyal dogs. All they want is for their master to be happy, so if fighting is what makes them happy, then they will do it. They are also strong, and have big jaws.

15.These pictures are of the dogs killed a year or two ago in Denver Colorado. They have BSL, and don't allow any pit bulls at ALL in the city. They don't allow any excuses, if you have a pit bull, it is being put down immediately.
16. Pit bulls would grab bulls from their nose and pull them down to the ground.
17.Pits use to be called the "Nanny" dogs. Parents would leave their dogs to watch their kids.
18.Oh wallace. He is my pit bull. He is the sweetest thing in the world, and I am so happy I have him. It just really hurts when people are scared of him, or say they don't want me by him. When he was a puppy, a woman walked away from me. But some people love him, and automatically get surprised when I tell them he is a pit bull.  People say "He doesn't act like a pit bull". It drives me inane.
19. This is my sisters pit bull Archer with my niece. He follows her around every where. And to the right is my moms pit bull cole, and my best friend lia. I guess owning a pit runs in the family. One day i want to rescue a whole bunch of them
20. I hope you all learned something new, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
