A lot of flap and snark about pit bull breeds has really gotten a lot of people cheesed off, me included. Mind, I\u2019m a cat person and have no desire to own a dog, pit bull or otherwise, but I\u2019ve acquired a taste for them over the years since I\u2019ve met my first one that was owned by a loving human being who hadn\u2019t adopted her to guard something nefarious or intimidate people. I\u2019ve only met one I\u2019ve been afraid of, and that\u2019s because his owner\u2019s a jackass. And I know a lot of great, goofy, silly ones.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s upsetting to hear people say that the entire breed should be banned\u2014one soft-spoken lady at an adoption event gave me her strong opinion that they should all be killed. I held my tongue\u2014the most soft-spoken reply I could think of to say was, \u201cDon\u2019t talk about my friends like that.\u201d Of course, they\u2019re a powerful breed and owners need to be able to handle their strength and enthusiasm, but yeah, if I wanted a dog, I\u2019d consider one.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one for you to consider, and she was rescued by an entire organization of cat people.<\/p>\n
