In a field of green grass, a young girl with auburn curls is running with her best friend, a four-legged loving dog named Bongo. His wrinkly face and wagging tail makes him adorable and approachable even to strangers. Her parents are smiling and watching the playful dog interact with his human friend until a stranger approaches them and warns them of the dangers of dogs of that breed and how the dog could seriously injure the young girl. Bongo is a nine-year-old American Bulldog that was adopted by the family at the age of two. When they adopted Bongo, the shelter mentioned to the family that he was removed from his previous home because of neglect. Bongo had a rough start in life suffering with a family who chained him up and left him to die, despite this, his heart was full of love which made the family adopt him right away.
The little girl is now fourteen years old and she grew up alongside this gentle giant. I have known her and her family since I was four years old and when they adopted Bongo he was friendly and full of love towards everyone. In the many years that the family has lived with the dog, they have never experienced any sort of aggression and neither have I.
My love for this breed of dog grew more and more, so much that when the family adopted Roxy, another American Bulldog, and when she had puppies I took one home. Living with an American Bulldog in Miami is quite difficult as many people assume my dog Luna, is a Pitbull Terrier. When I walk her in my
Pit bulls have been given a bad reputation over the years as untrustworthy, ill-tempered dogs, whose behavior may transform at an indiscriminate moment. While the slowly expanding owners of this breed continuously fight that reputation with cute posts, blogs, videos, etc. of their beloved furry baby just being your everyday companion. My Pit bull however, is not doing much for the cause. Her name is Lexi, she is a ten year old black and bronze brindle that has grown into a jealous, stubborn dog that has become disobedient in her old age. My dog, Lexi is on the fence for a bad reputation.
Just barely 9 months old, the large dog blue, who was supposed to weigh about 61 pounds, is 33 pound and shivering in the cold. He was left outside tied to a stake by a thick metal chain over double his weight. Blue had lived his entire life at the hands of dog fighters. He was born at a dog fighting site and has never experienced real love. Since day one, he was abused and neglected
An Anonymous author stated, “Pit bulls are beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man without the vices.” (Anonymous) As a Pit bull proprietor, I feel that Pit bulls are consistently confounded animals. As a matter of fact, any animal, pit bull or even a Chihuahua can be merciless or delicate. Additionally, adore and minding wins out with animals basically as it guarantees with people. Furthermore, affection is the item that makes an honorable or repulsive puppy and not their kind of breed or innate beautifying agents.
Hopefully my personal experience has been able to shine a positive light on Pit bulls and shown that when it comes down to a dog their breed shouldn't define them because a dog is just a reflection of their owner and if a Pit bull is treated correctly they won't randomly lash out at their owner, but will be loyal and protective to the
I also, own a Pitbull mix, named Akira. Akira is so sweet and gentle. She weights 65lbs and thinks she’s a lap dog, and will drown you in her
Since the majority of dogs are wiggly, friendly, companions it's common to get into the habit of casually walking into kennels. After stepping into the kennel, a low, threatening growl is released from deep within the dog's chest. As one attempts to not convey their fear, they face the provider of this warning noticing the dog's white teeth as clear as can be. As the hound curls his lips, the hair stands erect on his back, his ears pinned to his head, and his tail tucked tightly between his legs. The continuous, unsettling growl and intense glare of his eyes is sure to rush one out of the
This breed was also not always labeled as the "dangerous dog" but back in time, they were heroes. This dog breed was used in homesteads during the 1800s to prevent predators from eating up livestock and worked on farms. Pitbull's were also given to children as companions to protect them from any harm and they continued to protect families and friends during WWI by standing beside soldiers as companions while protecting combatants (Reflecting on Pitbull’s…). The Pitbull’s supreme reign did not stop there but continued as the breed was labeled the “All American Dog”. The United States revered the qualities this breed has: loyalty, brave, friendly, etc. The Pitbull appeared in many posters that illustrated to the country that the Pitbull was the dog to get and even
Have you ever been face to face with a Pitbull that is ready to attack that will potentially cause sever damage to your body or confronted by one that is ready for love and sweet affection? This all depends on how they are raised. One must remember that an animal is a reflection of their owners attitudes and training.
"Aww what a cute Pitbull!" Pitbull's has been a famous species for years. May some people think that the Pitbull's are terrible.
One of the most popular dogs owned by dog owners is the pit bulldog. They are said to have a friendly temperament and is remarked for being attached to their owners. Pit bull dogs are good pets, but they can cause severe problems if they are not trained correctly. Even with their friendly attitude towards human, they are aggressive and defensive towards their territory. This tends to threaten the society when considering how to control the pit bulls of mauling incidents. Pit bulldogs and other attack dogs should be banned to keep people safe from dog mauls in populated areas.
Lately, Marley showed unexpected guarding characteristics when John rushed to help some girl who was stabbed near his house. Somehow the dog itself understood the danger of the situation and transformed into a “completely different dog”. Because of crimes around the neighborhood, John worried for the safety of his growing son Patrick and his pregnant wife. They started to appreciate the big dog being in the house. Even though Marley was harmless, his presence made them feel secure.
Hi Corinna! It's good to meet someone who helps our four-legged friends. A year ago I found Tobi, a mixed Pitbull who used to live on the streets of Matamoros, Tamaulipas. To be honest, I didn't want to take him to a animal shelter, since he could be euthanized. For this reason, I took him to my house. Since the first moment I showed him to my parents, they loved him. Right now he lives with my mom and dad, since I live in a apartment that does not allow animals. But soon, I will bring him to live with
I looked at my dog and made eye contact with his large brown eyes. Time seemed to slow down as I read his eyes like an open book. I still remember the look today, while I was laying on the couch next to him. It was the most terrifying sight I’ve ever seen. My dog, my best friend, and the only thing to trust me with everything calmly could show that he had accepted death. For me though he was still could wagging his tail for us. The night I saw this was October 22nd at 8:02 PM. This dog changed my entire perspective on life. He was a dog that could instantly make a room bloom as a flower would, but with joy. He loved life and those around him and that caused us to love him so much.
My first dog was named Toby, he was a very white, ball of fluff. He blended in with the shiny white crispy snow on December 25, 2006. My sisters and I were on our way home from my dad’s house when all of a sudden we pulled into my mom’s house. On Sunday, December 25, 2006, Toby was waiting at our house. We all got out of the car on that cold snowy day and walked on the slippery sidewalk. The snow was like a chilling carpet on the bottoms of our feet. My mom opened the door with a camera so my sisters and I knew something was up. A shocking step in the house and we saw a very fluffy dog, we were very excited. He was like a deer in headlights. There was a bunch of screaming and yelling going on at that moment between the three of us. We
