People are right about pits being fighters, we just teach them what to fight for with love

We mucked the world up and need desperate help

If there's one reason we need to save the world, it's dogs. I've gone through so many rough times before, and I've considered some... Easy ways out, but I remember my dog and I keep pushing through life. Dogs are truly wonderful animals, and I don't want to bring them down with us if we destroy the world.

me too, isn't the bad rep they get awful?! They are the superb family dogs!

No need to apologize

These kinds of breeds still have a reputation, partly because if they do attack (rare) they do a lot of damage due to their strength. I can't take my dog to doggy day care because their insurance won't cover staffies - even though mine is a cross and about half the size of a regular staffy.

A lot of places still discriminate. In fact there is a shelter in Ohio that is being protested against right now because they euthanize all bully breeds after a few days and refuse to adopt them out because the head of the shelter believes they are inherently vicious dogs. They determine a dog's breed by the shape of its head so any dog with a blocky head is considered a pitbull to them. Darke Animal Shelter is the place.
When my sharpei/pit mix was a baby (we're talking eight weeks old) I was at a pet supply store with her and another little dog was trying to get at her. The owner of this dog said to his dog, "stay away from that one, it will eat you." My dog was cowering between my feet...
And yeah there are pet hotels and day cares that will not take certain breeds because other people don't want them around their dogs. It's sad.
