Pit Bulls
Permalink   

You have all probably read this poem before but as its one of my favorites I thought I would post it anyway


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 for 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 now I know that Pit Bull's don't cry

Mum cuddles me up and says "My pet
We love you dearly so don't you 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 Pit Bull, I don't cry

I sit behind my padlocked gate
From early morn til quite 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 Pit Bull 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!

These days, you can substitute several breeds in that sad poem :(

How sad but true that poem is.


PawPrint- I agree that there are other breeds that can fit into that poem. My first fur baby was a Rottie, and she was the biggest sweetheart of a dog. She was filled with love and kisses, at times she was afraid of her own shadow. Nevertheless, people would cross the street when they saw her in my front yard, with me, to avoid having to walk on the sidewalk in front of my house.



At times when I would take her to the dog park people would sometimes refuse to come in to the park when they saw her. She was never given the chance by A LOT of people. However, I can say those that did were very touched by her sweet soul.

I just saw this poem & I almost cried reading it... it's so true. However much I wish it wasn't. I've known many a PB throughout my lifetime & never have I met one that acted out with anger. It's all how you bring them up. ANY breed you mistreat and/or train to fight/kill will obviously be vicious. Why is the breed to blame when it's the person 'behind the scenes' in the wrong?! *grrr*

Sorry everyone - this is just a subject that irritates me to NO end!

=======================================

No need to apologize.  I think everyone here feels the same.  How many times have ignorant people looked at our babies and called them pit bulls?  That ignorace is dangerous, to pit bulls, pit bull owners, and any other breed that can be seen as dominant/strong (whether rightly or wrongly).
I personally have no patience for people who classify a breed as vicious... it is endlessly unfair to these wonderful breeds.  I only wish that dog owners were the ones who needed a license, instead of their dogs.
