Even the most enthusiast dog people sometimes have a difficult time with their perceptions of pit bulls. Like any animal, their demeanor is mostly reliant on the way they were raised and has little to do with any intrinsic behavioral patterns. However, cruel pet owners have helped establish a perception of the breed that defies their actual nature, and for whatever reason, that’s the one that seems to have stuck in people’s minds.
In the past, we’ve found that pit bulls are incredibly funny, lovable, and even great with other animals much smaller than themselves. What this tells us is that our pets depend so much on us to lead by example. If we show them affection, they will mirror that love in return.
In the video below, we watch a group of willing participants meet pit bulls for the first time in their lives. “This isn’t something that I’m looking forward to necessarily,” says one man, “but I’m gonna do it.” And it’s a good thing he did, too! As was to be expected, they found that these pups were just as sweet as any other breed. And as one woman comments, super soft, too!
SHARE this video to prove pit bulls deserve our love just as much as any other dog!
