THE PLIGHT of THE PIT
One of my oldest friends hail from Denver. I met her when her family moved into my neighborhood when she was a little kid. She's a military brat like I am. She returned to Denver after college and had been living there until the early 90's, when she chose to move because of the city's ban on her beloved Pit Bull breed. She recently lost hope that the ban will be lifted so she can move back to her beloved Denver.
She loves Pits as well as I. They are the most misunderstood, albeit mishandled, dogs. I had a Pit that was more pussy than dog. He was the sweetest dog in the world who only wanted to play.
However, I really don't know where I stand on this issue. Although the breed itself is a very sweet dog, it can be trained to have a very aggressive nature, and often is trained that way. They are quite often used as fighting dogs. As a result, they strike fear in the hearts of most. My Pit, though a pussycat he was, surely didn't look like a pussy. And that was deterrence enough.
Pits are the most banned dog in the USA and abroad. Are dogs truly man's best friend? Yes!
Man is just not necessarily dog's best friend.
Which side of the fence do you stand?
