My heart goes out to Butch, and in fact, all the other animals those owners have.

I am so pleased to see that there is an understanding that it is not the dog or breed, but the owner. I own (and husband breeds) 2 pitbulls and they are the most beautiful and loving dogs I have ever had. (Other than my Chiuahua, Amy).

This breed is a sporting breed and really love to work hard. They are only classed as dangerous or vicious because owners have made them that way.

Thank you for caring so much Pat. Butch is lucky to have you looking over his shoulder.

I would like to share this:

Pitbull’s Don’t Cry (Author Unknown)

I see the children in the lane
They look like friends, we’ll have a game
They’ve got a stick, oh boy, what fun
They’ll throw it to me and I’ll run
But someone stops me,
I wonder why their mother screams
“Don’t go near those horrid dogs,
come here, come close, they’re
dangerous -I’ll tell you why,
They bite little children and they die”
All I can do is watch and sigh
Cause I now know that
Pitbull’s don’t cry.

Mom cuddles me up and says,
“My pet, we love you dearly so don’t fret “
But I love everyone out there
Why can’t they love me, I do care
I wish they weren’t made to pass me by
I’m a Pitbull, I don’t cry.

I sit behind my padlocked gate
from early morn ’til late
When I go out it’s on a lead
Is mine the only heart to bleed?
I’m held in check as the world goes by
I wish the Pitbull heart could cry.

There are some dogs, and also men
Who cannot tell a foe from a friend
So all of us must bear the blame
Expected to live a life of shame
Condemned, alas and we know not why

All we know is we will not cry!

And now I'm crying ..........
