Pass this along to Shad Kim. You probably already saw it, but had to post anyway for those who didn't.

It is an awesome article about the top five most misunderstood dog breeds. One, the bully breeds, are really sweet and loveable. Hmmmm, not news to us who own one and treat it well. Here is the link.

In response to great article posted by katabell:
Hey Kat,
Powerful article thank you for sharing it. Shadrach has not seen it but you can bet he'll be blogging about this one. Thank you again for bringing it to our attention. I'm so in agreement with Ian it's not even funny. I am really angered that these dogs have been so vilified and for nothing short of human stupidity in my opinion. Any dog can be loving and any dog can be vicious this is not a breed problem. The problem lies with the owners not the dogs. Pitbulls were originally brought to the USA as "nanny" dogs and were very popular dogs earlier in the 20th century. Then I suppose mankind decided it would be great fun to exploit the breed for profit in a dog fighting ring and the media took that notion and ran with it (for ratings of course) making the breed not only the most abused breed in history but the most misunderstood. Now the politicians decide to put a bandaid on it all calling it Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) banning breeds rather than punishing the humans who do this who are the real problem. Makes zero sense to me Kat. So typical of the rampant stupidity and no common sense in society today. Don't get me started!!

Have a tail waggin' day!

PS Yes Shadrach loves to say pawsome and bepaws since it IS all about the paws!
