Okay I really don't care about what kind of dog buddy is. I do really care about how people are so mean to pit bulls. I personally am not absolutely in love with them. I want to politely say they aren't my kind of dog. I think that certain mixes of dogs are cruel and unnatural. Others I have no problem with. I happen to own a shih tzu which was originally believed to be a pekingese lhasa apso mix. What has really put pit bulls in the spotlight is dog fighting. People take this generally calmly tempered dogs and teach them to be vicious. Dogs adapt to situations. A lot of what you hear about in the news is something that is not the dogs fault. I really feel that we should all discuss this in a calm manner.
