16 Pit Bulls That Will Squash Your Misconceptions Of Them

There's no such thing as a bad dog, only bad dog owners.

Over the last month or so, a quite controversial topic has risen due to a potential bill being passed in Canada. The bill could potentially ban people from adopting certain breeds of dogs, including pit bulls, in specific areas. This could result in thousands of dogs who are unable to be adopted being euthanized.

There are various breeds that are linked to a violent reputation, but that doesn't mean that they're all out for blood. Although there are many cases where dogs have attacked and even killed people, not all have that instinct. These pups just want some love. Dozens of homeowners and renters insurance companies won't allow you to have particular breeds of dogs, including pit bulls, German shepherds, rottweilers, and dobermans. It is heartbreaking that so many innocent animals suffer because of a stigma around them.

1.

This is definitely the face of a killer dog. He might kill you with smiles.

2.

Uh, oh. We have a princess in the house. She's destined to take someone down.

3.

Yikes! Watch out for this one. He ate a squirrel and is wearing his skin to warn others not to mess with him.

4.

No! He's going to kill the penguin!

5.

This picture speaks volumes. So many people are horrified when they see pit bulls around babies or children. This dog is protecting the baby. They have a natural instinct to protect, not kill. They attack when they feel threatened or have been through something horrible.

6.

"I might look like an innocent little girl, but that's because I am."

7.

Did someone say "bacon?"

8.

I don't think it's possible to stress how important this is. Not all pits are killers.

9.

"Hold still. I'm just going to lick your face."

10.

"My best friend is a little deer. I love my tiny friend. "

11.

Time for the honeymoon!

12.

This is the life, man.

13.

This just supports how the stereotype surrounding these dogs isn't always true. You can't define an entire group by the actions of a few within that group.

14.

I'm Buster, the baddest dog on the streets.

15.


I don't understand how you can't love this face?

16.

Please, don't kill me for what my brother did. I promise, I won't hurt you. If you save me, you'll be my hero. I'll protect you with my life. Please. I didn't do anything to you. I just want to love you.

It should be completely up to an owner whether or not to risk owning a potentially dangerous dog. Laws forbidding the ownership of certain breeds are completely ludicrous. If a dog is raised to be violent, that is on the owner. There will always be cases in which something tragic could happen, but getting rid of that breed is not a practical solution.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
