| I love it! You never hear of the "good" pitbulls, but only the attacks. Also, how often i the news do you hear of any other breeds of dogs attacking. People rely on just what the news delivers to them, and because of that these poor dogs are suffering. That was a great video, it almost brought tears to my eyes.

| I personally never owned a pittbull.. I still feel and always will feel that a dog acts the way it does because of the OWNER. Here they are trying to bann piitt bulls period BUT there a re rotweilers and doberman pinchers and akitas,,,wolfs, chows, Etc. that can turn... a pom,. yorkie, ANY dog can kill or hurt a child or human. its not right! |

| I believe that most Pit Bulls are not the problem it is the owners! This breed is very strong but can be very loving. I have two that live next to me. Different owners. One was a rescue and would kill Buddy if he were to ever get loose. I know because when I see him and he sees Buddy he go freeking crazy. He got loose once and my neighbor ran to the nearest car to put her two Norfolk terriers up on the roof to save them. The dog is out of control. He does not belong living in a condo around other people and pets. Then there is another who was purchased from a pet store as a pup and is the most gentle, loving dog I ever have seen. She and Buddy are good friends and he loves her. Same breed, raised differently. I would never own one. |

| Thanks for posting that! I think all dogs can be aggressive, it just depends on the owner and how they raise them to be! I have had pitbulls almost all my life I used to breed them(they are one of my favorite breeds) and they have been the sweetest and most loyal dog I have ever owned! |

| Wow, that video actually brought tears to my eyes. It was beautiful. There is grace and beauty in ever breed. It's not the dogs fault, it's the owners.

| i have always had big dogs my whole life but to be honest my pit bull Pudge is the sweetest and gentlest dog i've ever known. he is a big dog and he does look scary as all get out at times but he wouldn't hurt a flea. i have three small inside dogs that weigh under five lbs. each plus two cats and he loves them to pieces. i do know that he would protect my dtrs. with his life if need be. my next door neighbor's lab is one of the most vicious dogs i have ever seen in my life...it is always trying to eat up my little dogs and chases my cats up trees. when my dtrs. get off the bus it stands in their driveway and growls and snarls at them. i don't let Pudge loose if their dog is loose because I seriously think he would try to hurt that dog just because of the way it acts towards my family and other pets. i've even had to take my chi to the vet numerous times because their dog will come in my yard and maul her every chance it can. i am begging my hubby to put up a fence in the backyard so i don't have to worry about my children or animals being mauled by their dog. i'm scared to make a complaint because they will say that i have a mean pit bull (which i don't)

| I loved that, They always get such a bad rap and it's unfair.

| i have wanted a pitbull for awhile now! every sense i met a blue pit puppy many years ago i have wanted one, a blue one! it's the most beautiful puppy i have ever seen ! poor dogs! it's the breeder/owners responsibility to raise and train these dogs right it's not just because they are pits they will be mean ,just like rottweilers! i have a huge rottie and have for many years about 9. she's protective and people are scared of her because she's a big dog ! she's very obediant, smart ,and loyal with no offical training, just is! that would be like saying certain kinds of people are evil just because it makes no sense to me! but when i even mutter pitbull to the hubby he acts like it's totally impossible and they are automatically mean or whatever he doesn't want one but he loves our big ole rottie!!! some people just aren't pet people and don't understand or care you can't convince them otherwise. but pets/ animals shouldn't have to suffer because of it! i will have my blue pit some day!! here's our big mean vicious rottie LEXUS i have had her sense she was about 6 months old! she was a rescue basically..... by me! pic taken last month she weighs in about about 105+ by now. http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/8189/img3625yf4.jpg

I Love Thor Donating Member | Thanks for posting this. I always defend pit bulls because like any dog, they turn out out you raise them... (besides Thor, I don't know what happened there ) But a lot of people discriminate against them! And so many people also think that they are born, or predisposed to be vicious...it's so sad cause i have known soo many sweet ones. Just yesterday I saw a man kick the crap out of one...It mad me sooo sad, I wanted to run the guy over with my car! |
