Oh, yeah...it's a shame that the "bully" breeds are taking the rap for very, very bad "owners!" We have two dogs, Lucy (a pit bull mix) and Oscar (a lab/retriever mix), both rescues...the funny thing is, they don't come any sweeter than Lucy...I trust her completely (even around the neighbor's toddler who absolutely adores her). But most folks take one look at her and assume that she is vicious simply by her appearance. BUT OSCAR, the cute and cuddly one, the one with the adorable ears...HE'S the one we have to keep an eye on because he doesn't want to be touched by anyone he doesn't know (who does?)...when people ask if they can pet our dogs, it's always interesting to see their reactions when I say, "Yes, you can pet Lucy (the vicious looking one) but not the cute and cuddly one, he could bite if he feels cornered!"
Our neighbors catty-corner to us also have a true pit bull...I tell ya what, she it the most well-behaved dog I've ever met! She's got a quiet confidence about her that I wish she could teach to Oscar! :) I just don't think breed-based legislation is the way to go...personally, I believe that there are no bad dogs, just very bad owners! ----- Original Message ----- From: Belinda Sauro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 10:07 am Subject: OT: Find the Pit Bull [Interesting and Scary] > *This is an interesting test that I failed miserably, it's scary > to > think how dogs are wrongly classified as this breed and are > wrongly > persecuted. > ----------------------------------------- > Take the test and see if you can pick out the pit bull out of this > page > of pictures.
