I own a pit bull (well, terrier) and he’s the sweetest thing known to man. Any dog has the capacity to be violent— that’s why we train them. Dogs are sweet by nature. They’re bred that way. They just get excited and they aren’t really aware of how to keep their big ol’ paws to themselves. They don’t mean to hurt us or other people, but they’re animals just like us, and will respond when provoked.
If you treat a dog violently they’ll be violent, simple as that. It always astounds me that people don’t notice the connection between babies and dogs— just like you have to teach babies not to bite when they’re frustrated, you have to teach dogs not to bite when excited. So treat a dog like you’d treat a baby and teach them.
Anyway, pit bulls aren’t violent. They’re sweet little goofballs who want a belly rub. If you’re going to give your dog up for adoption, send them to no kill organizations, a trusted friend, or well known youtubers who rehabilitate pets. (This is a stretch, I know, but it’s better than handing them off to a stranger.)
Do not give your dog to PETA.
They will kill your dog. They hate pitbulls and euthanize 90% of animals in their care.
That’s all I have to say about the matter. Pitties are sweet little peanut-heads. Wouldn’t hurt a fly.
