Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Check the stats of people killed by dogs. Pit bulls and PB mixes killed over 60%. Of those, 47% killed someone in their own household. Many had never shown signs of aggression before.
Stereotypes occur for reasons, yes a lot of pitbulls are nice, but a large percentage of damaging attacks by dogs are Pitbull attacks. Also several countries, including England have outlawed the breed. If you absolutely have to have one, you should be required to carry a large insurance policy incase your dog is one that has that hidden trigger.
That is the thing, most Pit Terriers are very gentle. They were known to be nanny dogs (Think Little Rascals) and only got the bad rep recently because of dog fighting in the late last century when irresponsible people made them look tougher by cutting their ears and tails and doing a LOT of training.
Left to their own devices, they are pretty sweet, and not scary with floppy ears and waggy tails.
Actually, dogs, in general, are mirrors of their masters or mistresses āsoulā. Dogs, like the wolves from which they sprang are āpackā animals! If you have a dog in your house and you have not trained it to be subservient to YOU, the Alpha pack member, then that dog is just a walking ātime bombā which can be displayed as anywhere from refusing to come when you call to ripping your arm off, depending on the breed.
No dog should be considered ājust a petā! You want a pet? Get a goldfish. When you bring a dog into your life youāre actually forming a āPackā and you both are governed by fairly strict rules which your new āfriendā innately understands, even if you donāt!
Itās not the breed, itās the CAPABILITY of the breed. Itās not the toddler, itās the toddler carrying around a running chain saw thatās dangerous.

In the ā70s they blamed Dobermans,
in the ā80s they blamed German Shepherds,
in the ā90s they blamed the Rottweiler.
Now they blame the Pit Bull.
When will they blame the humans?
