Breaking Through the Prejudice to Save Pit Bulls

Is worth all the effort and crticism because i live with a pit bull mix named Godzilla today thanks to genorosity and kindness from strangers which i received that allowed me to adopt handsome godzilla from an Arizona shelter 2 years ago! and thus saving his precious young life from the reality of euthanasia...

I may have suspected all along that Breed Specific legislation was a complete fabrication or compilation of untruths based upon fears and irrational beliefs such as pit bulls being inherantly evil or predisposed to viciousness which was pounded home by far to many irresponsible journalists to be completely discarded by the viewing public...

But,I never completely bought into the stereotyping because i had experience although limited with the breed already through friends and family members which my neice still has pits today by the way! so,i did not come into this blindly by any means! The experience i have gained from a dog that never even met me before he arrived to live in Oregon 2 years ago last month Has proven to be all the evidence i require to understand exactly how inaccurate BSL really is...

Godzilla has been a complete Rock star since arriving! I have still Not met anyone that this precious soul does not like?? seriously he loves all people! he is excellent with small dogs! and he is the most playful and happy dog i have ever known...Oh,I learned that he does have one flaw! He does not seem to like cats? but perhaps he has no experience with them or he has been clawed before? idk but proper social skills can cure that little misunderstanding i am pretty sure because like i wrote before,He is Stellar with everyone even growly little dogs that he still trys to play with...

I would recomend adopting a pit bull or pit bull mix to anyone even people with children if you get a pup that has not been brutalized by anyone yet? and even if you adopt an older pit as long as you treat the dog with love and compassion and respect regardless of the breed of dog? you will have nothing whatsoever to fear and everything to gain from this amazingly resilient breed of canine known as the american pit bull terrier....
