An Article Worth Sharing

Even though National Pit Bull Awareness Month is officially over, I was still trolling around the internet, reading articles about the month long celebration, looking for ideas for this blog. I'm happy to report, I found several sources of inspiration for new posts, so more in-depth, lengthy posts shall be arriving soon.

For now, I have to give a huge shout out to Ms. Arin Greenwood, from the HuffingtonPost.com. She is the author of this amazing article,
10 Stereotypes About Pit Bulls That Are Just. Dead. Wrong. It is one of the most well written, informative, and emotionally stirring articles I've come across in a long time when it comes to pit bulls and their unjust reputation. 

The next time you have 10 or 15 minutes, please give this article a read, and pass it on. 

I learned some new things from this piece, such as the American Humane Association's Hero Dog of 2013 was a pit bull. Her name is Elle, and and she is a therapy dog.  It warms my heart to know that there are good people out there who are willing to give good dogs a chance, no matter what their breed.

Thanks to you all for reading this blog. Thanks to all the advocates who give their time, money, dedication, expertise, and passion to the pit bull breed. And thanks to writers like Ms. Greenwood, who publicly share their personal stories of pit bull love in order to change some minds and save some lives.

Happy Pit Bull Awarness Month

Happy Pit Bull Awareness Month!!!

I'm so happy to wish you all a happy Pit Bull Awareness Month. That's right, October is the month we officially celebrate our lovable breed of pit bulls. 

There are many things you can do to actively celebrate this special month. Here are some ideas:

• Take your pit bull for a walk around the neighborhood and show off your Breed Ambassador!
• Donate some time to a local shelter that specializes in adopting out pit bulls
• Sign at least one petition against BSL
• Share as many positive Pit Bull posts as you can on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and other social media sites
• Attend local Pit Bull Awareness Month events in your area

Have a safe and happy October with your best pal! I'll be back in a few weeks with a post on my experience in my first training class.
