2007: Jodi Preis, the founder of the Tennessee-based pit bull rescue and education group Bless the Bullys, established National Pit Bull Awareness Day. The nationwide event was founded to educate the public and restore the image of the American Pit Bull Terrier, which had been negatively impacted by decades of bad press.

October is Pitbull Awareness Month
It’s pitbull awareness month. These dogs get such a bad rep. Our River is sweet, loving and scared of everything. If she hurts you it was just from playing because she thinks she’s 10 pounds like Emma was not 60 pounds she actually is. People make dogs bad, the dogs themselves aren’t they are usual

Breeds commonly mistaken as pit bulls
What is a pit bull? Pit bull is short for American Pit Bull Terrier, a dog breed. Although it is often used as an umbrella term for other bully breeds, that is not correct. Mislabeling can be harmful to pit bulls and other bully breeds. #bullybreed #pitbull #dogs #dog #MyPetDiary #lemon8

Such a vicious pit bull
People in America want to band this breed from the country because it’s an aggressive breed and are not good around children. But my 8 year old son is sick and doesn’t feel good, so my brother’s pure breed pit bull climbed up on the couch to snuggle with him. Do you honestly think it’s the b

Our sweet pit bull with our foster kitten 💗
I love the way our pit bulls love all of our fosters! I’m so thankful we get to experience their unconditional loyalty and love as well. If you’ve ever been on the fence about adopting a pittie, it was the best decision my husband and I have ever made. They are the best 💗💗! People told me to watch
