This is awesome, I wish my girls would do some stuff like that. My oldest loves balls and swimming, so the kids playing soccer in the park, the ball went into the lake and it is not for swimming, only paddle boats and she jumped in and kept pushing the ball to shore for herself, so we grabbed it as soon as we could or she probably wouldve popped it. But she had a whole crowd of parents and children who kept cheering her on and that is a good thing, so everyone thought she was cool and wanted to pet her so she was surrounded by people and loved every minute of it. Of course she earned a bone when we got home. So any good things are great as far as pits are concerned.... I will try to teach the girls some things to attract attention. I was thinking of dressing her in all pink and have her walk with me in the Cancer walk as people all bring their animals, plus she loves to dress up....
Thank you for this news headline! We need more stories like this with pitties in the paper. Me and my pittie thank you and the owner of this dog!
I think pitbulls are doning good to our community by picking up garbage . While they're doing that & trying to be inisent people are killing them one by one and they realy can't help it if it is their nature to do that.
This is great, however, I am surprised that the media allowed this story on the front page with their usually stories and reports about Pit Bulls. Usually, the media tries to paint them as these jaw locking killers, who truthfully may lick you to death, but not bite.
I would love to see this on video. Is there a link showing this amazing pittie in action? If not, I think it would be a most excellent & uplifting news story for the T.V.
Thank you for this delightful story! Please keep positive pitbull story headlines coming to the public! And in regards to a post about "keeping a chained dog inside of a fence", I just wanted to say that there are now laws in many states BANNING being able to CHAIN YOUR DOG period. Life on the chain breeds anxiety, depression, anger, frustration, extreme isolation, etc. & yes, these dogs, any breed, become dangerous.
Almost every single pit attack I have read about was from a CHAINED dog! Either it was CHAINED when it happened or the dog lives on a CHAIN as it's everyday life.YOU are WRONG about your theory Petlover!! WRONG!
Nothing surprises me about pit bulls. They can do anything when raised with love and respect. I've seen it so many times. They are just dogs, and smart dogs at that. If only some people weren't so ignorant.
Great story. Thanks for reporting it. There`s millions more like this. Seek and ye shall find.
[quote]It is a story in the news today. Three Pit Bulls Turn on Owners, one being a baby. You are fooling yourselves thinking it is not the breed. And we all know that the Media is great at Breed* and mutt identification and always "accurately" reports on the circumstances. Did you hear that Martians just landed Fran? I read it in some Paper.It must be true.
How nice to hear a positive story about a pit bull. People don't understand that they are S&R dogs, drug dogs, police dogs...the lack of sense and care of some owners should not give the entire breed a bad name. Kudos to this story!
Glad to see a nice positive story about a pitbull instead of a negative.I don't hear about other dog breed bites.It seems like they just want to give pits a bad rep.I have 2blue pits n they are so loving, kind,gentle, and cuddle bugs!!Love to give kisses n love all people!!
Great Story! You would NEVER see a poodle to that! ;) Nice to see positive pitty stories for a change. They do rock! (PS.just kidding for all you poodle lovers)
Great article! Love seeing the positive press for the pitties!
petlover, You are correct that most dog bites, including fatal dog attacks are inflicted by a family, neighbor or "resident" dog. I ran the numbers. I got the cause/circumstances of dog bites from the book "Fatal Dog Attacks" by Karen Delise. While studies prove that the act of confining a dog on a chain does not affect the dog, statistics show that chained dogs are more likely to bite. We can reason that a poorly socialized, dangerous dog is more likely to end up chained than a well-behaved pet. Overwhelmingly, the cause of a fatal dog attack on a child under 12 years old was "toddler wandered to chained dog." I do not support breed-discriminate legislation. But I do support legislation that mandates a fence around chained dogs. It is legislation that is simple(r) to enact, does not encroach on personal liberty and actually CAN protect our children
