I have heard your story and sympathize with all that you have been through. I understand completely why you cannot tolerate the thought of owning or seeing another Pit Bull. While I see your point of view and know that your experience is unjustifiable in your eyes, I would like to share with you how I feel about the breed. I see Pit Bull’s as an extremely misunderstood breed of dog, I know that some of them would put their human’s life before their own. I own several Pit Bulls myself; all of them are sweet, loving animals. I truly believe the dog will turn out how it is raised and trained by the owner or the environment which it has been exposed to. I believe people buy into what they hear and see regarding Pit Bulls and their behavior; that…show more content… She is a sweetheart (most of the time) and shy around strangers. We call her Bindi, she has a bit of an attitude to her when it comes to eating, just like your dog did. We were visiting my father one weekend and my little sister tried to jump on her to play while she was having her dinner, startling Bindi who then snapped at Zoey (my sister). My father was angry and accused the dog of being a bad animal and told me that I should not keep her. I argued that she is a great dog and is just protective of her food dish and I taught Zoey not to go near dogs if they are having something to eat just in case they have a protective manner about them. Though Bindi is a safe dog and has many sweet features, I have seen her nasty side in that way. Because of that incident, I understand why you are biased the way you are against Pit Bulls. Lastly, I will tell you about my last Pit Bull, Willow. She is by far the sweetest of the Pit Bulls I know. She is small so she does not look that threatening, however, her bark is quite deep for a little girl. As soon as you meet her you fall in love with her- she is definitely a lap dog and a cuddlier at night. She wants nothing more than to love you and for you to love her back. I personally know a couple of people who were not big fans of dogs but once they met Willow they changed their minds. She is truly a joyful part of our lives, and your family could have that again…show more content… Sarah was attacked by her family’s German Shepherd when she was four years old and now wears a noticeable scar that ranges from the corner of her mouth up her cheek, almost touching her eye. She talks about how she was terrified of dogs for years and how she hated them, how she would not go to any of her friends’ houses that she knew owned a dog. One day, though, she came to my house. She was older, almost ten, by then, but she still did not want to touch a dog. But then she met Sunny, a huge king sized Collie. He was the most loyal dog a girl could ask for, and as soon as Sarah was brave enough to lay her hand on his soft fur coat she smiled. From then on she kept getting better and better with being around dogs until her fear was completely gone. Do you think Sarah made the right choice by accepting dogs back into her
