I used to think there are “dog lovers” and “dog haters,” but I’ve found there’s another layer in between, “Pit Bull haters.”
There are many that say they’re dog lovers, yet they say they hate Pit Bulls. If you hate ANY breed of dogs, you shall not call yourself a dog lover.
It is an insult to real dog lovers.

In the early 1900s, pit bulls were characterized as "nanny dogs" because they were used by families to baby-sit their children. Now, after a century, the pit bull's once sterling reputation has been marred by evil humans who have turned them into fighting machines.
It saddens me to see the sharp divide between dog lovers and pit bull haters. As a proud guardian of a pit bull, I take my girl into the world and introduce her to anyone who comes our way. I feel it's my duty to show off a pit bull that's an ambassador for her breed. Some people cross the street when they see her. Others say "she's gorgeous" and give her a pat on the head. More often than not, a stranger will take care to tell me a story of a friend of a friend who was attacked or had a dog attacked by a "pit bull" (and many people call dogs "pits" that aren't even pits!) Why would someone tell me a story like this when I have obviously chosen a pit for a companion? To warn me? To make me feel bad?
I have had bad experiences with certain ethnicities of people in my life, but that doesn't mean I hold all people of the same ethnicity accountable for one person's misdeed. Why are dogs any different? Quit looking to blame a breed and look to penalize the bad people who have abused these animals. Do some research, educate yourself before coming to conclusions about one type of breed.
