Something I never personally understood is how people can pin a certain breed as vicious. I am friends
with a couple dog trainers who agree with me. The Media is at fault for most of the way people think about pits, mastiffs,
and rotts. Every time one of these bigger dogs that people fear are aggressive actually bite the media is on it! A dog
trainer friend of mine was bitten by a Border Collie! I also volunteer randomly at a animal shelter and guess what? I see
more huskys and collies and LITTLE breed dogs than pits and rotts!
I wish parents/guardians would also teach their children mutual respect for Any and ALL dogs. Most
children are bitten or killed when they approach a dog who is chained or kenneled, as that is the dogs territory and the child
may unknowingly violate some dog law. Another thing kids need to know is to NOT TEASE DOGS! I dont know how many times I see
someone teasing some neighbors dog through a fence! It is also dangerous to approach a breeding pair, or a new mother. And
for goodness sakes, NEVER leave a small child unattended with a dog! A pomeranian once mauled and infant!
ANY DOG CAN BITE AND KILL!

Before pit bulls were the bad guys of the world, it was rottweilers and dobermans. Once pit bull are banned,
the bad guys will find a new breed to turn and make the world hate. I dont understand why...why do people fear and hate this
loving and loyal breed? I would die if someone walked into my backyard and took my rottweiler because of his breed! My sympothy
goes out to those who have lost a dog to this prejudice.
STUBBY, Bull Terrier mix, WWI. The most decorated war dog in
U.S. history. As a small, stray bull terrier, he was smuggled aboard
a troop ship to France. There he was wounded in no-man's land but recovered and still served in battles at Chateau Thierry,
the Marne and the Meuse-Argonne with the men of the 102nd Infantry. One night in February 1918, he roused a sleeping sergeant
to warn of a gas attack, giving the soldiers time to don masks and thus saving them. Gen John "Black Jack" Pershing awarded
him a special Gold Medal. He was given Life Membership in the American Legion and the Red Cross. He met Presidents Wilson,
Harding, and Coolidge. He died of old age in 1926. Stubby is now on display as part of American military history in the Hartford
Armory in Connecticut and is called "Sargeant Stubby".
