Thankfully, she fell in love with this adorable pit bull and didn’t listen to her mom. Now, even her mom can see how great of a dog she is and even “loves her more.”

Many people still believe that pit bulls are naturally vicious and dangerous. Sadly, this perception leads to a large number of pit bulls ending up in shelters and never finding their forever homes. Many people have such an aversion to these sweet dogs not because of the dogs themselves but because of the actions of other human beings. Pit bulls are often bred and trained using extremely cruel methods to fight other dogs in dogfights where the only choice that they have is to fight or to die. However, this behavior is not natural nor inherent to pit bulls.
