To this day, Pit Bull dogs are still widely seen as “aggressive” and scary. The stereotype can be really harmful, and even affects laws that ban them from certain places. However, anyone who has ever loved a Pittie knows how unfair this perception is.
When raised by kind people, Pit Bulls are loving and wonderful family dogs. They also make skilled service animals. But, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. So: Here’s a little collection of sweet Pit Bull photographs that proves how inaccurate their reputation really is.
