My grand-dogs are pit bulls. That’s probably what has led me to question inborn evil in the breed. They get all the bad press. Admittedly, many truly are vicious and unpredictable, thanks to humans who’ve trained previous generations to fight. Yet, humans used to consider the pit a dog people admired, and they were often thought of as the perfect companion for children.
I found an interesting article “10 Things You Never Knew About Pit Bulls.” It tells some history of the breed (including serving in the military), interesting facts (like how likely it is you’ll be killed by one), and what happens to those who end up in shelters. Go to www.care2.com/greenliving/10-things-you-never-knew-about-pit-bulls.html and read for yourself.
