you remind me of my dad. He also rather not be aroud pits and rotties, mastifs, dobermins, sharpeis, bull dogs, or bull terriers. It is sad really.

He was also attcked, but by our old dog, he was a dobermin trained to kill. He was trained to protect me and my mom from stolkers. My dad was scared of him from the begining, and one day *my moms stalker* kept phoning and threatening, my dad rushed in and scared the dobermin so it lunged, not seriously ingering him, of course. but still it has scared him for life. Now I am intent on getting a breed he is affraid of when I move out, just to prove him wroge about all the myths.

I hope one day you can get to know a pitbull. It would be a good experience for you.

Animal Miracles with Alan Thicke:


DIXIE AND THE SNAKE

When the deadly water moccasin snake struck out at nine-year-old Frank and seven-year-old twins Katie and Codie, their Pitt Bull Terrier Dixie didn't hesitate. The usually gentle dog lunged at the snake, biting down hard on its slippery body, violently shaking it to death. But before it died, the snake landed two venomous bites on the loyal dog's face. Valerie Humphries, the children's mother and Dixie's owner, rushed the stricken dog to the vet clinic. After several days of intense care, Dixie came around and today she continues to care for her young charges, watching carefully for all signs of danger. In 2000, the Georgia Animal Hall of Fame recognized Dixie for her act of bravery.


Something you didnt hear: The husband, owner of Dixie, brang her home from a shelter 5 years earlier. Valerie, wife, didnt want the dog BECAUSE she was a pitt bull Terrier. The husband of Valerie begged and pleaded intull she gave in. AND if she had fallen to the discrimination that she was thinking, her child, Frank, would not be alive today.



Now thats a good story. I think every pit has this potential.
