I found this post at Who Moved My Truth…
I couldn’t have said it better:
Pit bulls are unfairly blamed. Here is a courageous, intelligent dog, known for its loyalty and good-nature. They will do anything to please their master. But they are not re-homed easily….no dog really is. You cannot take an intelligent animal, and put it in home after home, shelter after shelter, with no way to reason with it, and think that it is going to become a great dog. If you did the same thing with a person, would you be surprised if they were mean, violent individuals? Somehow we think the dog, with no ability to verbalize their feelings and fears, is going to fare better? Any dog who is neglected and/or abused runs the risk of turning on humans. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who is at fault, and dogs aren’t stupid. There are amazing stories of Pits who manage to beat the odds. Those that don’t end up dead. And there is nothing else but ourselves to blame.
