The Most Dangerous Breed

Oh wait, there isn't one.

The Most Dangerous Breed
Personal

When I decided to get a puppy, I took the breed into consideration. I knew I wanted a short-haired dog to prevent so much shedding, one who would be fine to stay in a crate while I went to class/work/the gym/etc, and one who would be great and sociable with other people. Then, I met my friend's dog. He was a Blue Pit, and he was one of the most sweetest and loving dogs I had ever met. I immediately made up my mind. My first thought was to get a rescue pit, so of course I checked my local shelters. Then, I found him. Once I saw him, I knew he was going to be my best friend.

Upon the arrival of my new pup, I never realized the criticism I would receive for deciding on a Pit Bull. It came with a lot of, "Be careful, you know Pits can be dangerous." And, "I hope he doesn't turn on you." At first I was only amused at the ignorance. However, it eventually got real old, real fast. How can people make so many assumptions on a particular breed just because of a few bad apples? It's like saying all police men are crooked or all Alabamians marry their cousins: It's a stereotype.

These are the real dangers of having a Pit Bull:

1.They Will Lick You to Death

My Pit has the most viscous tongue in all the land. He will give you kisses anytime, any place, anywhere. It's even worse when his breath is stinky!

2. They Will Smother You

Opie does this weird thing where he wants to lay on top of my head. I don't know if it's his way of feeling close or if he is trying to suffocate me... Probably suffocate me... he is a deadly animal, after all.

3. You No Longer Have Privacy

I said goodbye to private bathroom breaks the moment I got my dog. I also recently discovered that I must shut my bathroom door when taking showers because he insists on jumping in with me!

4. They Will Eat Anything (Even Their Humans, If They're Hungry Enough)

My dog is in the phase where he literally eats anything. I even caught him eating a dead bird. I have to be careful though, because I realize that he is so dangerous he may decide to eat me!

5. Their Tails Are Like That of a Stegosaurus

His viscous tail can be used as a deadly weapon. Its strong force is so powerful that it can knock me out cold.

6. They May Jump on You with Excitement

Although I am trying to break him of this habit, my Pit gets so excited at times that he jumps on me when he gets excited. Or is it because he wants to rip me apart..?

7. The Gas They Let Off Could Evacuate a Building

I have never smelled something so foul as the smell of my dog's gas. It is strong enough to make me pause my Netflix show in order to run away, so that's when you know it's bad.

8. They Will Chew Up Everything You Own

A countless number of shoes and bras have fallen victim to my dog's razor sharp teeth, but then again it may be him practicing on his first human victim.

9. Their Eyes Could Kill

My dog had the brightest blue eyes for the first few months, and they are beginning to change to a beautiful hazel color. When he gives you the "puppy dog stare" it will literally tear your heart in two.

10. Their Slobber Could Fill a Bath Tub

I don't know what it is, but my dog drools more than any dog I know. Sometimes when we're cuddling, he will leave a huge wet mark on my clothes... it's definitely not flattering.

11. They Will Love You Unconditionally

More than anything though, the most dangerous part about owning a Pit Bull is their unconditional love. But wait, isn't that just like any other breed of dog?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
