Domestic Violence going down? Get a pit bull!

by Shannon Rubsamen on April 23, 2010

I was browsing through the Facebook posts on the fan page for “Trying to get 1 million AGAINST the ban on pitbulls” and stumbled across a story about “rescue pit”.  This was a 2 yr old pit who ran to the aid of a woman while her estranged husband was trying to drag her across the street.  Dog Thwarts Husband’s Attack

While my dog Thorbob is actually an American Staffordshire Terrier, the world at large takes one look and screams, “PIT BULL”!  When he was just a puppy we were living in Southern California and people would cross the street to avoid walking anywhere near him.  It was the CRAZIEST THING!  

Granted, just up the road in LA these dogs were being stolen left and right to become fighting dogs for gangs. Seriously, how many  red headed gangstas do you know?

These days, at age 11.5 this dog’s favorite thing is watching tv from his ottoman.

Regardless, the point of today’s story is think again folks!  This fan page already has over 66,900 fans so maybe people should turn off their auto prejudice over this breed of dog?

How many times have you heard, “It’s how they are raised”?  Um, maybe it’s because there’s a great deal of truth in that statement!  That phrase works on any breed of dog and some kids I know!

Check out these 2 I think Golden pups and they are best friends!

THIS picture scares me and they were just playing!

By the way, I’m also trying to help a lady that is looking for a breeder in the VA Beach area so if you know of any, particularly in the Rosemont/Damn Neck area please let me know.  Thanks!

We need more people like you in the world! Its the people who have the problem not the dogs. I used to be afraid and when I started volunteer work with the city shelter I realized they are amazing pets! I just adopted a lab/”pit” mix and my whole family (dogs and kids included) are happy with this loving boy. Oh yeah, you took amazing photos of me & Striker Otis recently! LOL http://www.beachpetpals.org has a great list of myths about “pits” & a list of available dogs who are ready for a new home. BTW , Can we come up with a better nick name for them?

Hello there, Are you going to be publishing a follow up piece? My husband and me have squandered some time browsing over your web page and surprisingly enough you touched on some thing we were discussing only the other week with our accountant. We frequently notice ourselves quarrelling over the smallest of issues, isn’t it childish? At any rate we wish you greatest wishes from the Usa.

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

*Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
