So I treat my dogs better than most humans. In fairness my dogs are better than many humans. My dogs are often more human than many humans.
I also think Pit's get a bad rep because POS humans are drawn to their capability for ferocity. Pits, like some other breeds, excel in this area. That doesn't make them good or bad. Dogs have a personal nature that can be better or worse than other dogs, how they are trained and how they are treated can improve or degrade their personal nature accordingly.
It's hard for me to fathom that people who understand "blanket statements about guns being good or bad are inherently flawed" fall for the exact same propaganda when it comes to dogs or anything else.
I've seen Beagles that have been so abused they will attack anyone. I've seen Pits that love the four year old daughter of their family more than anything else and the only way you are gonna see some teeth is if you are stupid enough to threaten that little girl that the dog loves so much.
For people that think dogs are nothing more than pets. I've seen dogs who have stopped eating and starved themselves to death because their owner passed away. Anyone who has worked with military dogs has probably seen at least one knowingly put itself in harms way to protect a human that it loves. Not a human it was trained to protect, but one that it values above it's own life and if you don't understand that is love then you don't understand anything.
Now not all dogs will do this and some dogs are terrible. Feral dogs are capable of horrible things and usually only think of their survival. Some dogs are completely devoid of any kind of redeemable characteristics...but that is true of a lot of humans as well.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
