They’re a “virtuous” dog to rescue and are “rescued” quite a bit as a first dog.
The owners of these dogs love to post pictures of the pit bulls sleeping or lazy and then use cutesy captions like “oh sooooo vicious.” They humanize dogs and think they’re pit bull is a sweetheart and would never and that little dogs bite way more often, don’t you know.
I remember watching that silly Rachel Ray where she was crying watching her horrible dog eat her dog food. Turns out there had been MULTIPLE issues with her dog and it had bit several people and her professional handler had even been threatened by the dog. But it was a rescue, so that made it wonderful.
I have a somewhat distant cousin (2nd or 3rd) who even though she is a conservative like me she rarely talks to me or puts a like my FB posts. I can’t really understand why, except she is a big Pit Bull owner and we had a disagreement about 5 years ago over another of the many Pit attacks on some kid.
I think she possibly is actually holding a 5 year grudge at me over her damn stinky dogs. Maybe all Pit owners are not like that but more than most others I’d bet.
