The horrific truth behind the history of pit bulls? The entire breed was developed from bulldogs and terriers purely for vicious fighting intentions. The poor things never had a chance at proving just how lovable they really are before they were being thrown in the ring with bulls and bears way back in the mid-1800s.
Thankfully, that barbaric practice has been outlawed in most places around the world, but the pups still feel the sting of their ancestors' reputation. Owners looking to adopt a new four-legged friend often completely overlook this perfectly calm, affectionate, and goofy breed because they continue to believe the completely wrong idea.
Hopefully those folks will take a moment to scroll down the list below to see just how "terrifying" the cuties can really be.
