i work in an animal hospital for 20 years For 11 of those year i brought my pit/american bull dog with me . he would sit on the couch and greet the client and there dogs . Petey loved everybody that came in, dog, cats children. He taut my clients not to be afraid and to trust him. Its not fair that they are trying to ban these dogs they are loveable dogs . They should ban the people that give these dogs a bad rap.

I'm still morning the loss of my best friend; a red nose brindle Pit Bull named Scrappy. He was a fine ambassador of his breed and changed many peoples minds about Pit Bulls. He was rescued at 8 weeks from a life of pain and abuse. You see Scrappy was destined to be a champion fighter and line his owners pockets with blood money like his father did before him. My wife and I gave him a new life full of love and friendship. We raised him properly and although he looked intimidating he was gentile and sensitive. He was obedient to the extreme and loved children and cats. He was a fearless protector that would have given his life to protect the ones he loved (how many people can you honestly say that about). His mere presents kept my wife and I from harm more times then we'll ever know. The only times I ever saw him as much as show his teeth to a human where justified. Both times we where on vacation and someone was obviously casing us out with the possible intent to mug or car jack us. One look at him sent them packing. Somehow I doubt that any breed not on the “ban list” would have had the same effect. Scrappy met his end as the result of the second class treatment for a urinary infection the resulting complications he received from a vet who like many uneducated people feared Pit Bulls. Unfortunately we found out too late that that particular vet has a history of giving second class treatment to the all of the warrior breeds. By the time we figured that out and took him to a competent vet it was too late. The competent vet confirmed that if the proper action would have been taken by the other vet when we first brought him in he could have been saved. I'll never forget his last moments and the pain of making the decision to put him to sleep. It was more like deciding whether to euthanize an adopted son than a pet. He was holding on to life with every fiber of his being even with a burst bladder, complete renal failure, and blood work that

Ban the Deed, Not the Breed

I fully agree. Pit Bulls have been made out to be vicious, blood thirsty dogs by the media, when the truth is, they are really some of the sweetest dogs in the whole world. My neighbor owns a Pit puppy, and everytime I go up to it while he's walking her she jumps up and licks my face while wagging her tail. Now tell me, is that a 'dangerous' dog?

because I am the guardian of 1 full blooded and 3 mixed pits. They are very sweet and loving dogs. I think we should be putting the blame where it belongs on the PEOPLE not on the bred.

These dogs have done no harm please stop dog dicrimination.
