Why Pit Bulls Are Such Controversial Dogs | The Asher House 

As an animal control officer, I've grown to love them so much! They are fiercely loyal. I compare them to all the protective breeds. German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Doberman and Chows. Unfortunately they're so over bred and irresponsible ppl get them. I love them!❤️

Found out while volunteering at a shelter what a wonderful breed this is. We later fostered a little girl. Within two weeks she was ours. Love her to pieces. She is special

I used to have a rescue pit until she had passed. She was like my best friend and was definitely like a human and didn’t have spacial awareness. She was so good with humans but was overprotective when other dogs tried to approach us. We had another dog eventually and it really helped her get more comfortable with dogs.

I'm a proud Pit Bull Mama X2, & I agree with everything you said about them, especially the part about them being almost human. My girl Pit is just the best dog ever! My boy is an alpha male, & needed more training, but at 9 year old now gets it. Both are rescues. My boy Luke was 1 when I adopted him & my girl Connie was 3. She is now 10.

I've had a golden, two min pins, a chihuahua, and now a pit mix--and he is by far the gentlest, sweetest dog I've ever known. You absolutely need to be aware of their size and power and spend time exercising and training them, but he's deeply loyal, eager to please, and kind and welcoming in a way that I've never encountered in other dogs (much as I really love them all). An absolutely extraordinary breed.

Our Buddy passed away last year, unexpectedly. He was a pit mix and my absolute best friend, my shadow. He was amazing. And chances are, our next shelter adoption will be a pit of some kind. Thank you for all that you do, Lee!

Beautiful message. I rescued Oslo a 1 yr. old Pitbull April 2022. He had patches of hair and scabs all over with every bone showing, it broke my heart. He is now 88 lbs. with a beautiful blue coat and a heart filled with love and joy. In the beginning he would lay on the other side of the room with his back to me. I'd throw a toy and he would get it and then back to the other side of the room. LOL Anyway I took too fast of a sip of coffee and started to cough, and he ran to me jumped up and started licking my mouth trying to help me. That was the most precious thing that I have ever experienced with a dog, and I have had dogs all of my life. 🥰

I adopted a masstive/pitbull mix 2 years ago, best thing I ever did! He's My 4th child. He was 4 when we got him, everyone passed him by at the shelter. He steals My spot all the time but I love him to pieces! ❤ from 🇦🇺

My sister in law is a pit bull whisperer. She understands working dogs so much. While walking on a beach with her pittie Sammy. They bumped into a guy that was walking his deceased fathers pit bull called Mia. Mia and Sammy got on so well that they arranged to meet up the following weekend to see how the dogs greeted each other. It was at that meeting that Mia became part of the family. She had been staying in a kennel after her owner died and his son would take her out every weekend. Unfortunately, Mia couldn’t go and live with the son because his wife was far too house proud to have a dog. A quick visit to my brother and sister in laws house and the man knew instantly that Mia was in her forever home. He still comes to visit but not so frequently because he knows how settled and happy Mia is. Sharon Milne the dog whisperer of Aberdeen, Scotland. Thank you for taking Mia into our family. 😘

Worked in rescue for years and a part of the reason so many attacks are credited to pits is due to mislabeling. Anything with a slightly square shaped head will be labled pit mix. That being said, Dolce was the best dog I ever had. Lost her young to bone cancer in her pelvis. Inoperable. She was a darling to every person and dog she ever met. Smothered the puppies in affection and would ragdoll in your arms. Miss her so much every day.

I had a Staffordshire terrier for 15 years and I adored her. I still miss her after four years.

I'm so glad to hear you talk about about pit bulls in a positive matter with all their wonderful attributes I feel so sorry for them

My dog is part pit - he is so bonded that he has rarely been on a leash in 7 years he's been with me, and we have been everywhere, from the deserts of Arizona to the mountains in Tennessee to the remote beaches in Louisiana. I know he will never leave me. I have never done a minute of training with him - he knows no 'commands', I have never, once, even raised my voice to him. and I wouldn't have it any other way. We are just 2 old guys living together in perfect harmony. He is approaching the end now and when he goes he will take a part of me that will never be replaced.

Got my first pit bull mix in 2001, Violeta aka Boo. She was the sweetest pup. Next, Brandon, aka Noodles, was a former bait pup and came with baggage…. He was my heart. Then Strawberry Blossom, Goldenrod, Daphne, Froggy (my service pup, rip) and now Iris…. I’ll only have pitties for the rest of my life

I have had pitties all of my life, from my parents getting one when I was an infant and another when I was old enough to start learning to care for an animal myself. They are the original Nanny dog!!!! my husband and I had one together for 16 yrs and he was amazing!! Gentle, loving, loyal and total goof ball. after 16 yrs he passed and we were determined to adopt. which after searching we found our new fur baby, THANK YOU, Pittie love rescue! We have added to our pittie pups and adopted again from a private adoption to insure that she would NOT be used as a breeder. They are our light and are treated just like our human kiddos. kuddos to all those who rescue and live, and love their fur babies🥰

Thank you for your spot on commentary. I adopted a brindle staffie mix and had 10 amazing yrs with her. The first day I met her she climbed up my kids playhouse and went down the slide. Sat on a patio chair with us adults. She stole my heart. She took her last breaths by my side New yrs day 2018. April that year I fostered my current big baby boy. He looked at me with his beautiful eyes and accepted me straight away. The owner never came back for him. They have been companionship and love that is priceless!!

I had a pug who I love and adored for almost 16 years…A pit bull came out of nowhere and had my dog in its mouth…my dog never barked or growled, I was hysterical and scared…thanks to my pugs loose skin and harness he survived. I love dogs and I don’t want to be afraid of pit bulls but when I see one I get tense… and I can’t help but remember 🐾

ROLLY, un tel regard, une telle présence, oui humain.. Vous connaissez bien les louloutes, bonne psychologie.. Toutes ces louloutes reçoivent plein de tendresse et d attention..merci à vous 😘😘😘😍😍😍

Good advice. Brilliant analogies.

When I got my pit mix. I had watched some videos and I didn't know what I was getting into...I used to, must admit, be scared of pitbulls and that was something it drove me even more to have one. I had to face my fears because I so LOVE animals and was no reason to keep being one of those that would cross the street. Wow....My dog helped me grow as a human being, He taught me so much and I am so thankful. I learned what it is to be a responsible dog owner, how to care for him and not care for what the media or people say while still being respectful since I had been there on the fear side and I know they mean no harm but is the fear that took over their minds. I have taken my dog to classes, watched hundreds of video on training and care...I now can say I am equipped to have a pitbull and one day when I no longer have my dog I will get one from the shelter. I am deeply in love with this breed. I had many dogs before but these dogs are the best of the best.

Thank you for your beautiful words about this special breed. Pit bulls are definitely misunderstood. But from experience, I can say they are the most dorky and silly dogs I have ever had. Their strength and power need to be recognized before having one - not as a bad thing but more precautionary. My beautiful pit was so strong that he could knock my young nephews down in his excitement just to play !! Never a threat; just a zillion pounds of love and joy !! I would love my next dog to be a pittie.

Thank you Lee for your comments on PBs. I have watched many videos on PBs and really enjoy them. If only the concept of them could be changed. I think of them as the "teddy bears" of the dog world.

Another great video! Thank you!

These poor babies get such a raw deal....thanks Lee x.

Thanks so much for this video. 👍❤Your explanations about pit bull dogs is really appreciative! I love them I own one too. You're right, they like half humans the way they listen or sit and vocally active too. Their expressions are priceless 😍🐶🐾❤👍 Best wishes to you Lee and your beautiful fur babies pack- !! . 🐾🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐾❤😊

Thank you for educating me on pitties... you have a real natural personality which comes across really well on screen and you give the underdogs a voice your videos are so inspiring I view them with great enjoyment thank you Lee..peter in Canada 🐭🐹😸🦝

I have a pit bull foster fail...she was dumped at a dump with 11 puppies. All the pups were adopted out, but we kept the momma...she is the most affectionate dog we have.

Hi this is a question related to a few videos ago. I'm sorry I couldn't figure out how to go back to that video. It was the video when you, Lee when you were unexpectedly gifted a beautiful New Finland. You shared that no one had ever given you a dog before and that you were so touched and grateful for this gift and that you'd always wanted a Newfie. It was so beautiful to see your reaction to your new dog! I just wondered if you still have this dog? I'm new to your videos but have not seen your Newfie since that video. Maybe this question has already been answered? Thx in advance for catching me up on this!

I agree with your comment about pits being so close and devoted to humans so much! They legit have individual personalities and are so in tune with emotions and expressions. I will never be able to explain the connection that I have made with my boy Moose that I haven't had with other pets in the past. I love all dogs but there is something about pit bulls that is just so extraordinary, if more people gave them a chance and enjoyed the love they have to give the world would be a better place.

Excellent video Thankyou for explaining about pit bulls a breed I know little about. They sound like they have beautiful personalities 🤍

I have one and she is my child. She makes me laugh every day. And when I have to go somewhere she pouts like a little child would.

Pitties are such big goofballs. I never have met another breed that is so gentle, protective and totally misunderstood as the Pitbull breed. And you are right about their lack of spatial awareness, they think they are little itty bitty pups. The first time I met a Pitbull was amidst the 2000's craziness 'Pitbulls are bad & need to be put down' era. Oskar was a beautiful little idiot. Fearless, loyal and such a gentle soul. He loved everyone, and got so much hatred. Ppl crossed the street to get away from him. He just could not understand how he and his owner got yelled at etc. on the streets. Some neighbours even tried to construe a case against him, but fortunately they had a backyard cam and had footage of the neighbour antagonizing and abusing Oskar when he was in his pool. But we almost lost him (we had very stiff and cruel breed specific laws at that time) because of someone who had heard all that crap about the breed and just wanted him gone. Unfortunately that guy just got a slap on the wrist and Oskar was afraid of going into his own backyard and pool afterwards and they moved afterwards. Anyway, Oskar lived up to a ripe old age of 16 before he succumbed to cancer. He was the best ambassador for his breed. Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers and Goldies lead the list of bite incidents worldwide!!! Not pitbulls, not rotties, not even Aikitas.

Thank you!!🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for this video. I totally understand our blue Staffy Lexi is the most kindest gentle soul we have ever owned she was even afraid of her Cat brother Jackson. Unfortunately she went missing on Jan 14 of this year .. the kids dont go outside anymore since she went missing , flyers everywhere, letter boxes no sign of our gentle girl and our fear is that someone has her and using her for unthinkable things ... sorry to vent ... loved your video will share with my family .. We love you Lexi x

Pitties are so wonderful 😍 They are goofy & silly. lol I have rescued three of them over the years. Loving & sensitive to their humans. We walk them aprox 2 miles a day.

another wonderful posting

It's So True My mix Pitt lab Reese was my everything he just past at age 14yrs old omg we loved him so much he just loved everybody every thing loved everyone I miss him so much I need To Fine Another Pit ❤️ soon maybe still grieving over him not easy So thank you Asher #PitLoveIsbeautiful ❤️

I am 62 years old and have a lab pitt mix. She is the most loving dog I have ever had. Her eye rolls make me bust out laughing. She was born on the streets because her dog mom didn't have a home. I drove 95 miles to get a 12 week old hurt hairless pup. Best decision I ever made.

My neighbors two pitbulls killed my Aussie while we were in our yard with her 5 week old puppies. I was outside with my two youngest children- out playing with the puppies & momma. It took 3 grown men to get them off my dog- but unfortunately it was far too late. In the years that have passed, I’ve gone out of my way to stop and meet every friendly pitbull I can. I had to refuse to allow that nightmare to change how I saw a whole breed.

The worst bites I have ever had was from a pet rabbit. It got loose and I chased it all over and when I picked her up she bit my arms all over a even my stomach.

You are so right, we have 2 of them and they are our babies. Never had any problems they love everyone.

Thank you so well said.

My 18 mo old granddaughter managed to climb up on a chair while her mom was in the shower & unlock safety lock. She walked 3 blocks to a park with their pit bull by her side, making sure she stayed on sidewalk & safe from any strangers.. who were just trying to help the toddler.. the dog stayed with her until my daughter came!! Turned out the dog was a better babysitter then any human could be!!

I had an 85 pound pit mix who never, not once, showed aggression. When my daughter fostered a 65 pound pitty, he was immediately protective of her and her boyfriend from day 1. Wouldn’t let myself or my husband walk around him, his toys, his bed, my daughter or her boyfriend. I took my cues from him, never got up fast, only interacted with him if he approached. Out of the blue he attacked me, bit my breast then latched onto my leg and cause severe damage to the back of my thigh. Daughter had to pry his jaws off of my leg after he started shaking the flesh. I’m still recovering after 2-1/2 months - puncture wound healed but hematoma still fairly large and bruised. I no longer trust pit bulls or any dog for that matter. I’m glad there are people who give these dogs unconditional love, but I’m no longer sympathetic to the breed.

I have met a few very sweet pit bulls. Unfortunately, our complex is growing in number with Pit Bulls and you can’t count on people being responsible. I have a super social Golden Retriever and he wants to play with any dog or cat willing to. Unfortunately, the people around here aren’t responsible, their Pit Bulls are trying to attack whenever we come across them. With this type of response, these dogs should be muzzled when out. They are strong and have gotten away from their owners. So maybe its not so much the breed that starts out dangerous but becomes dangerous being raised by irresponsible people. Just yesterday I was out walking my dog and a Pit Bull tried started growling and was trying to leap out of a car window. Tillamook, OR.

I volunteer for an animal rescue and I'm a huge proponent for pit bulls and other bully breeds. There is even a county near where I live that fully bans them. They are loving and loyal dogs. If I can change one person's mind about them, that is a win in my book.

PitBulls :) The first Nanny Dogs!!! :) So much love for this breed!!! So much love for all that you do!!!!!!

I FREAKING LOVE PIBBLES. Their big old block heads and soft fur and those smiles are just to die for. My neighbor has a pit mix and he is the sweetest cuddliest dog. I love stopping people walking pits and saying how beautiful their dogs are because I'm sure they just don't get that positive attention much. Thank you for the sweet video!

Working with the homeless ive had the pleasure of engaging with many pitties, they are genuinely the most incredible, intelligent, happy and loyal creatures. We had one guy whose pit didn't like other dogs, he was on the smaller side as the runt of the litter and felt he had to constantly assert himself. Sadly this meant he had to wear a muzzle and that meant that people avoided him - even though he loves all humans with zero bias. I can't forget how thrilled he always was to see me, his owner would drop the lead and this buzzing ball of joy would leap into my arms, every time. Out of all the homeless doggies I engaged with, never once did I deal with an aggressive pitbull. The high level of socialisation they get in that environment makes them really loving to humans and other animals. The only 2 dogs I ever had in the service that were genuinely a risk to people was a chihauhau jack russel mix and a belgian malinois - but in both cases it was nervous reactive dogs paired with nervous reactive owners. When I was alone with both, neither were aggressive. We need to learn to judge each dog as its own "person" with its own needs, desires and traits. All dogs have potential to harm, and labels won't change that. We need to be realising that cause and correlation are not the same thing, dog attacks don't occur in a vaccuum - It's really important to take into consideration the type of homes that tend to get the type of dogs associated with aggression. When times change and popularity of a certain "guard dog" aesthetic wanes, this title goes to a different breed. Its been Dobermans, its been Rottweiler, its been German shepherds - right now its pitbulls. This is not coincedence.

Unfortunately I always believed in the stereotype that pit bulls were dangerous and would attack if possible. My aunt had one and from what I remembered (granted this was almost 30 years ago) they seemed so dangerous and was chained up. My neighbor had one as well when I was 10 and they always barked at me when I passed the house. When I moved to a Puerto Rico my perspective drastically changed. Dogs roamed all the time. While staying with family I freaked out when a black pit bull puppy walked onto the property and I just froze. When I saw his wiggle butt move I relaxed and I immediately fell in love with him. He was the sweetest thing I ever met and played with him when I could. I now have a hound pit mix and he is my world. He is came into my life and the perfect time when the pandemic was at full force and I was dealing with my depression and anxiety which was hitting hard yet again. He was there for me emotionally just as I was for him. He came from a dangerous area in central Virginia where if his owner had not found a home Lord only knows what would’ve happened to him (not because of the owner). Personal space is definitely a thing of the past. He loves to sleep either on my neck/head or on my pillow when he’s above me. Loves playtime and rough housing with his abuelo and human cousin. Is spoiled rotten by his abuela…and me. He has taught me so much about having that pit in him. Wouldn’t trade him for the world.

I wish I could share a picture of my Shepherd/Pitbull mix. She's absolutely gorgeous and a total sweetheart. Loving, loyal, goofy as all heck. But like you said, she has potential just given her size and strength and yes, her prey drive is immense. I have to listen to what her body language is telling me, and 9.9/10 times, she just wants to play with other dogs and invade people's spaces bc she's SO curious. I rescued her 4 years ago and through all of her growth and personality changes, I wouldn't change a thing. Pitbulls are amazing creatures and so grossly misunderstood 💔

I love pit bulls too. I've known many in my life and they have all been cool, laid back, loyal dogs and they love their people.

100% I’ve had my boy 13 years and he has changed a lot of ppls minds about the breed. He is absolutely human like and my whole world!

Dude. You are the whisperer, for real. I finally found someone that loves dogs to a higher level than me, BUT. Pitbulls have very, very good Spatial awareness, it's just they are, because of they're high awareness and confidence, are so comfortable with everything once they feel ok to do so. They're athleticism wouldn't be possible without Spatial Awareness. Butt, if course, IN HUMBLE O.

Great recap.

Mine is the sweetest, gentle, love bug! Mine has become my soul mate!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. As a rescurer, have had all kinds of breeds and loved them all! But, there is no breed like the Pit. GOATs !!

My Daisy us a pit mix who was found on the side of the highway in Louisiana. I live in Texas. She is tge first female dog I have owned and she is tge most amazing dog. Can say enough good about the breed. ❤ my perfect girl.

I LOVE PITTIES!! But I don’t have the room in my house for a pit bull and I don’t have the time to dedicate to the breed. My being at work all day and keeping the dog cooped up till I get home is NOT FAIR to the dog… So I admire them from afar.

Thank you so much for speaking good things about the Pitties! I love my rednose pitbull and they are one of the best breed of dogs!!

i agree with you R.I.P MY NALA NEVER FORGOTTEN

There absolutely beautiful breed thanks for a beautiful video I have learned so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love all of your dogs and the pitties are wonderful. I adopt rescue dogs and the love that dogs can give us is beautiful. Love to all of your dogs and those who have passed. God bless you and all of the dogs there! 😀

I had a pittie for 13 years she recently passed and she was my heart my child, I’ve owned and had in my family since childhood huskies , labs, collies, Shepard mutts, and more and I’ve never owned a dog as loyal loving sweet caring and all around amazing like my pit Bull… hands down best dogs… how you raise them is how they are, just like any dog u raise it to be mean it will be mean you raise it with love and care and it will show love and care… facts…

thanks!!!

It is a function of the design of their heads and jaws. Their jaw pressure is astounding. Couple that with their determination, and once they bite down, it is very hard to force them to release. Unless trained. Any future pit owners should be forced to take a MANDATORY 8 week class, Basic Dog Training, for the PRIVILEGE of owning these wonderful dogs.

I just started fostering a pitbull and she is the sweetest. I can attest to that. However, I have tried to find articles that say golden retrievers bite more or find an article that dismantles how pit bulls arent an aggressive breed and they are hard to find. Anyone have any resources? Thank you

This is probably one of the most important videos I’ve ever seen you make. It’s so frustrating that there are still people out there that think pit bulls are some kind of monsters. I’ve owned about 5 different kinds of dogs and my pit bull was my absolute favorite. Not only a goofy, funny dog that always made me laugh but so loving and kind. I won’t own another kind after that . Thank you so much for this video.

I want a pitty soooo bad, but I'm allergic to bully breed saliva, which is super strange. I've only had a reaction to saliva from pitties, bull mastiff, bulldog, and boxers so far

Love this 😍❤️👍 We have one and he’s wonderful ❤️🥰🥰🥰

In Ontario Canada they are illegal to own due to like you said. But love them.

I COMPLETELY agree with what u said...i believe pitties are one of the best breeds 🥰 and are very misunderstood, BUT YES the owner needs to have the correct knowledge, care, compassion and training themselves.

Love and miss Sammy 😢❤he was a special ❤️ 🎉Love you Jersey girl 😅

I lived nextdoor to a pitbull advocate. She owed a pitbull named Augie. One day she came to my door n asked if I owed an orange cat. I said no. She said cause Augie just killed one. Owner was sweet and caring. They are as unpredictable as they are sweet. Augie was sweet.

I love pitbulls. They sure r the best, the smartest, the most needy...the most affectionate 🥰😍🤩

Pitbulls are very loving and forgiving.

Thank you for sharing your view on pitbulls. It is sad that people get a dog and dont cant handle it or abuse them. If you want to own a pet, learn, train the pet, play, give it food, give it love. Every human needs to have dog licence of some sort. In america you have so much problems with homeless animals (and humans) and that is not acceptable.

RIP Sammy, Stella and Jack. ❤️❤️❤️ Great dogs.... Love them all ❤️

With our pitbull Queenie, I walked into the shelter and went "okay which pitbull has been here the longest" and I took her home and I will never not rescue a pitbull now.

I've owned 4 pits. They're loyal dogs but need alot of socialization from a young puppy age so they don't become animal aggressive. Also always watch them things can get out of control. My current puppy is 8 months half dogo argentino half pitbull he's going to be a big dog but is really calm for being a puppy technically a good thing, he's protective over my kids

I am 70 years old and I have always been terrified of pit bulls. Then a neighbor moved down the road, we live in the country. 2 years ago this crazy scary pit bull ran up to my 5 week old 1/2 Golden 1/2 Lab retriever, and they have been sweethearts ever since. Thank goodness they are both fixed or we would have silly looking puppies. Sometimes I call my buddy and ask “ can Wiley spend the night? “ I absolutely love this pit bull.

We just adopted a beautiful specimen of a pit bull. He is paraplegic and built like a line backer. He came from a method house and was abused resulting in the paralysis. He has chronic wounds on his legs and will become a double amputee Sept 13th. He will be so much happier and healthier and be able to get around so much better without his wheelchair. He is such a honey and listens well and is truly a good boy. His name is Brody.

I miss Stella so much. She was my first Pittie encounter and what a beautiful encounter it was. I met her at a Asher house meet and greet she was on the R.V. couch, I sat next to her and oh what kisses and snuggles I got! At that very moment she entered my heart and never left I miss her very much.😔 I'm sorry to say I never had the pleasure to meet Sammy or Jack but some day I hope to meet Rollie!! I love when you talk about your pack and the different breeds,you get so excited sending love!!❤️❤️❤️

My cousin has two pit bulls and they’re really sweet. My old neighbors had a pit Bull they kept on a chain,I used to give him water and food on occasions since I don’t think they gave him much of either,he liked me,never scared me. It’s the humans that mistreat them,not the breed.

I had a pitbull - the biggest ball of love. He was so emotionally in-tune and aware. So incredibly loving of everyone - cats, dogs, kids... everyone. I believe that it is the most misunderstood and abused breed on the planet. They are intelligent and cannot just be left in the backyard “for protection”. They NEED socializing, they NEED walks, and human interaction. They NEED protection from harm just like every living being.

Almost 8 years ago, I decided to finally get a dog. I googled all I could find on dogs. Then I googled breeds. I decided to get a pitbull because they are basically the underdog, if you will. I found a blue nose pitbull puppy and named him Hawk. He has been the absolute sweetest dog I have ever met. He loves everyone and loves cats. I trust him more than my cat lol He is the sweetest, most loyal dog ever.

So very true...every word. I owned a pitbull for 15 years. There is such a connection. On the deepest level. He was the joy of my life. So gentle. He never bit anyone or showed his teeth in a growl. He was so smart too and loving. He was perfect. He passed away a year ago and I miss him so much. Loved him more than you can imagine. RIP Wally.

I'm 100% with you on Pit Bulls, they have the most beautiful spirits ever! Staffies are very similar, tons of personality with so much love to give. It also breaks my heart with how misunderstood Bull breeds are, they are very friendly, great with humans and other dogs alike. I wish I could rescue every Pitbull on death row, it truly hurts my heart to think that many people just want to kill them. I love your passion for the breed and I have to confess, Rollie is my favourite.

I love all pitties I've ever been around. It's the owner not the dog

It's heart breaking at how many pits are in shelters. They are such beautiful and loyal dogs. Thank you for sharing your experience with these wonderful dogs.

When I think of pitbulls, I think of their smiles! They all seem to have such happy smiles! They act in response to how they're treated, just like any other living being. I'm a cat person, so I don't have dogs, but the pitbulls I've seen are all sweethearts.

As a pit owner, she would follow me into a burning house. I have never felt so complete when I'm around my Mochi. Everything Lee has said fits the description to a "t." When I was engulfed in darkness, she was the beacon of light that saved me from fading away. If she only knew how much I love her. She is embedded in my soul and I thank God everyday for blessing me with this Ray of sunshine. All dogs most certainly do possess a soul and it's so beautiful.

My bf and I adopted a pitbull puppy from a shelter about 3 years ago. My bf takes her out to the open spaces for a 5-7 mile walk every morning. She is the sweetest, kindest dog I have ever owned. She can body slam other dogs as a way to play, but she’s getting better about it. She is bursting with personality and sassiness and makes me laugh all the time. Thanks for your message … the public needs to hear this over and over again.

Lee, there are so many things I would like to say in response to this Vlog. But the most important is THANK YOU for addressing the beautiful Pitbull in such a heartfelt manner.

I love senior dogs. I keep them until the cross over, then find another senior that needs a good home. I'm a senior myself and choose dogs that don't need high energy imput. All my senior fur babies come from the shelter.

I have two and they are my whole life. You’re spot on with your takes in this video. They are such a special breed and I feel like they are little humans… my two “just get it”.

That was a wonderful promotion for pit bulls, Lee. You did them a good turn in giving very wise and encouraging advice to prospective carers. I hope many are adopted.❤️

There’s a reason they used to be known as “nannie” dogs! Love mine to pieces. ♥️

My beautiful girl was a rescue but I sincerely believe she rescued me. She was truly my soul dog. Sadly she went to the Rainbow Bridge two years ago and I'm still heartbroken. The sweetest most empathic dog I've ever had. Miss her with all my heart ❤️

You said a mouthful there “there is not another dog that will make you laugh like a pit bull will”. My baby is an angel sent from Jesus and she literally laughs with me when she does something goofy 🤣🥰❤️
