Thank the mental goliaths at the "Today Show" for correcting the record in the oft-maligned Breed of Peace.

What is a pit bull? (Hint: It's not actually a dog breed)

Yep. In yet another step for revisionist reality, the NBC geniuses tell us, "A little over a year ago, pet photographer and animal shelter advocate Adam Goldberg came up with an idea for a new photo series: The Pit Bull Picture Project.

Goldberg, who is based in Tampa, Florida, set out to photograph pitties in a way that would help dismantle untrue negative stereotypes about the dogs, and "show off their goofy and lovable side to inspire more adoptions," he told TODAY."

Yep. None other than the font of all knowledge, the august Huffington Post has weighed in.

That's it guys. Game over.

The Breed of Peace really is snuggly boogum-woogums after all!

All the maimings and deaths? Isolated incidents.

Trust NBC's "Today Show" for truth in all things.

Ignore Fake news videos of pibbles wreaking havoc

Now we know the TRUTH about pit bulls.

I think a lot depends on the breeder and how the dog is raised.

We know what "pit bulls" look like and we know that this TYPE of dog is responsible for more attacks with serious injury to people than any other breed or type.

Yours may be nice but I have less reason to trust it than I do any specific named breed.

I've never been attacked by one but I got charged once.  I stood my ground, even advanced toward it, pointed toward the way it came, and commanded it to GO HOME.

And it did.  At least it ran away.

The only time I ever got bitten was just a nip and it was a Chow.  Chows are assholes like pits never have been.  But Chows are nowhere near as common.

Pits earned their stereotype.  Enough said.

How about we just refer to them as "medium-sized stocky dogs with big heads and murderous tendencies"? Then we will know what the owner means when he says what kind of dog he has.

For me "Lucy" was going for my throat, but I turned and faked her with my left arm. I managed to dodge the attack and tried to kick back at the dog and missed. Luckily, the dog changed its mind and the owner, a white trash male, was able to get control of his sweet dog.

A friend has a chow;  he can't let anyone visit his home because the dog WILL bite them.  The dog has gotten much more aggressive as he aged;  used to be ok to be around him when he was a pup through adolescence, but not for the last ten years or so.

Pitbulls being the boogie man is fake news. Every dog that attacks somebody is called a pitbull by the media. I've been around a true "pitbull" for 11 years, as well as many others over the years...never so much as growled at me. My toddler has not been eaten and regularly pulls the tail, jumps on him, etc.I've been around a mastiff for less than an hour and had my hand bitten/thumb crushed. Do I think mastiffs are the devil? No. They are powerful but this particular one was not raised correctly.

Man, I kind of laughed at it too.

That was a weird thread.  I love cats, but the image in my head of how it went down had me kind of giggling.  I felt bad.

Those two dogs I wouldn't mind if they were put down, too.  I know they were dogs doing dog things, but...

Have a neighbor who dresses up her (3) dogs for every holiday. They're not pits but if they finally had enough and ate her I'd understand.

Have more and more neighbors getting pits, including one house that has 5, count em 5. Far enough away to be off the radar but driving past and seeing other neighborhood kids out, it's just a matter of time. There's another who can barely control the family not-yet-full-grown pit on walks. The dog literally lunges in the air at any cars driving by. Nutso. But thanks to the Today Show, I realize it's my lack of understanding and not the breed at all.

.....No.  I grew up with a girl that got her face gnawed on by a pure breed golden retriever.  Pretty much any dog can be a threat to humans.  Pit bulls....just a lot more likely to gnaw on someone's flesh.
Link Posted: 7/27/2019 9:08:27 PM EDT
[#48]
Yeah. If the ones that show human aggression are culled, as was the practice, it would be as unlikely to occur as with a Golden.
