I’ve had the love for dogs since I was a very young girl. Growing up my parents had dogs in the house. We owned Pit bulls, Bulldogs and loud barking Chihuahuas. As I was growing up I found to have an enormous heart of love towards pit bulls.

I’ve had Pit bulls here and there most of my life. I remember not too long ago that I had to give up my dog and I cried for months. I still cry.

When certain type of people, mostly Pit bull haters, find out I love pits to death there is always negative remarks towards the type of dog I love.

I don’t understand why Pit bulls have been so demonized like some type of death drug. I’ve heard comments like "pit bulls should all be killed." And hearing that just breaks my heart. I always defend the breed.

There are three types we hear most about and they are the Staffordshire bull terrier, American Pit Bull, and Staffordshire terrier. I know there are more but these three are the most known and common here in the United States.

Pit Bulls were not originally from America they came from Europe were they were breaded for safety and others had them as fighting dogs (really cruel). When European Immigrants came to America they of course brought their Pit bulls because they were part of the family. When they were brought over to America the families started to breed the breed began to be loved as a family pet. Pit bull’s are very loving, strong, very athletic, and loyal to you as an owner. A Pit bull will treat others the way he or she is treated. Unfortunately, there are ugly people everywhere who abuse their doggy.

I am not afraid of Pit bulls. I am a dog lover, but I do have a bias. I do not like Dalmatians or Chihuahuas. I was attacked by a stupid Dalmatian when I was younger, those dogs are temperamental. All I did was walk by looking for a ball that my cousins and I were playing with and my dad almost killed that dog. Now, the Chihuahua attacked my baby sister and bit her face. It was our dog and he attacked my baby sister and my dad almost killed that dog too but ever since then I can’t stand Chihuahuas. So Pit bulls are not the one to be demonized because there are other breeds that can attack for no reason, and kill for no reason. I don’t have my own pits yet but I have some in my life. And I love to see them as much as I can. There is Bella who belongs to my cousin Henna and there is Chapo who belongs to my landlord. Pit bulls rock, and I cannot wait to own my own home so I could buy me at least four Pit bulls. I will love them and give them a beautiful home.
