Bullies and Buddies

     One major part of me (that almost everybody knows) is my passion towards animals. Yes, it is mainly towards pets. I will fight for those who can't; meaning, I don't support breeders, I support no kill animal shelters, and I WILL rescue a stray and either try to find him/her a home (whether it be his/her previous owners or a new forever home). All of my pets (specifically speaking of dogs) have been, and are, rescues and I would not change it for the world!  I don't need a specific breed, color, or "brand" that I pay a breeder for. I find pleasure in saving a life rather than picking one out! And maybe it is because I don't need that "brand name" in order to be happy with my pet. Now, don't get me wrong I am not saying that purebred pups are horrible or a disgrace, they are just as wonderful and there are people out there who will love and cherish them, I am only speaking for myself. Another topic, that I can technically only speak for myself on, is the misconception of a demeanor. 
     The demeanor of a "Pitbull" is based on the owner most of the time. With any bully breed there is a different personality, but all breeds have their own traits and personalities. I would like to address the fact I quoted pitbull. If you look up pitbull, there is no one specific breed called a "Pitbull"; it is called a bull terrier and there are several categorized under that breed. The definition even states "variety of bull terrier"; however, it also states that they are "often associated with ferocity." Thus emphasizing that the world has placed a stigma on these dogs that had no control over their history of violent owners. 
     I have the pleasure of owning a "Bluenose Pitbull"; Lily is a wonderful pet and she is obviously a mixture of several bull terriers most obvious being the American Bull Terrier. Lily has never been aggressive, and I firmly believe it is how we have raised her. [With any animal, if you are aggressive or abusive with them, there is a chance that they will defend themselves (which would result in an aggressive act).] When my dad brought Lily home she was terrified, scared to come through doors even, and to this day HATES men wearing hoodies and hats (I say hate because she gets frightened, barks and won't go anywhere near that person). She was a few months old when we showed her what love looked like and she came around. To this day, Lily is a beautiful, loyal, loving part of our family. So, my thoughts are simply: look it up and gain some knowledge before you start placing stigmas on my dog. One knowledgeable website happens to be: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/dog-behavior/truth-about-pit-bulls I would also look into some "Pitbull" rescues if you were curious about their true demeanor because they handle, love, and care for them everyday and will be able to show you they are a gentle and loving breed. 

Now, like I said before this is my opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs;although, I will voice mine and support it any chance I can. With that being said, head to;
