392 Words2 Pages

As with any story it is only fair to mention the rough times. Then when you read about the laughable times, it is worth it. There are a few incidents that I would like to mention in this book. Only because it might assist people in avoiding the ‘first time’ mistakes of owning this type of dog. Tailgate was built short and stout. He was a blue brindle, which made him very different in appearance, compared to most pit bulls. It also made him a target for ignorance. The first time I experienced this was at the gas station.

I was dumbfounded. Not only did I

    Historically, pitbulls were originally bred to “bait bulls” in the 1700s and early 1800s in England, but recently now pitbulls are now domestic dogs.

  • Persuasive Essay: Pitbulls Should Be Banned

    964 Words  | 4 Pages

    As stated previously, pit bulls are known as devils. Even if pit bulls are scary looking and some have vicious behaviors, people need to know what happens behind the scenes. As mentioned in the article TroubleMakers, “ The pit-bull appearance is a proxy for the pit-bull temperament—for some trait that these dogs share. A mean pit bull is a dog that has been turned mean, by selective breeding, by being cross-bred with a bigger, human-aggressive breed like German shepherds or Rottweilers, or by being conditioned in such a way that it begins to express hostility to human beings.” To become plausible towards pit bulls, people need to realize, in reality, they are one of the best-tempered dogs.
