also known as the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the pit bull terrier is a very sweet and lovable dog and a good companion, but unfortunately is often ridiculed and disrespected for it being known as a fight dog. people put these sweet canines in dogs rings and force them to fight. if the dog(s) have been fighting for too long, they are humanely euphemized, which is really unfair cuz it aint the dogs fault, its the MASTER'S FAULT.
people should not be afraid of pit bulls. they are one of the most loyal dogs breeds and should be treated with more respect and put in more loving homes.

A breed of dog that is often stereotyped as being violent, when they are actually some of the most gentle creatures on this planet. Ranked 2nd behind the trusty Golden Retriever, Pit Bulls aced the "temperant canine" exams.
Because of their strong build and "iron-jaws" Pit Bulls are often trained for dog fighting and used as guard dogs, giving them a violent reputation. Many of the weaker Pit Bulls are left wounded and bound to die in the streets by Human Hands. These wonderful and kind-hearted dogs have potential to be outstanding pets and companions when treated correctly, and still thousands are sent to be euthanized for no reason every year.
I rescued my Pit Bull mix from an abuse shelter, and he's never even barked at anyone, and is very patient with cats and children.
