Pit bulls get a bad rap because they are too often ruined by the abuse as well, but in fact if nurtured they are the sweetest and most appreciative pets! We love our upstairs tenant's wonderful boxer-pit mix Diesel and we'll miss him terribly when they move out next month.

We have pits & pit mixes a lot and they are some of the sweetest, most loving dogs (as are most of our rescues.) This is a great post and I always love reading people encouraging others to adopt vs. buy. There are so many great dogs out there in shelters or rescue groups that need -- & deserve -- good homes!Kristinnoreply@blogger.com
