The Pittie Poem

I saw this poem and being a Pit bull owner I HAD to share. Anyone that knows my dog, knows he is the sweetest friendliest dog you will ever meet. We saved him from the pound when he was 11 months old and i couldnt ask for a better dog. I get extremely offended when people sterotype him because he is unlike any dog you'll ever meet.

"Please don't believe what you hear

They have made me a poster dog and instilled this fear.

I may be big and I may be strong

But I have done NOTHING wrong.

A vicious cycle, I wish I were never born.

Into the hands of a monster, now my heart's been torn.

They threw me in the pit, I could hear the people cheer.

Blood on the walls, no fight in me....Just fear.

I am of no value now, they tossed me aside.

As I lay bleeding, I have no place to hide.

And now I am taken to a grey, scary place.

I am cut and wounded from my tail to my face.

Here I lay alone, on this cold cement floor.

Waiting for my chance, to get out the door.

I only have a day or two before I am put to death.

A day or two more till I breathe my last breath.

But I haven't had the chance to show you..... I'm a good boy.

I never had a treat, I never had a toy.

I am a Pit Bull, It doesn't mean that I will bite.

It doesn't mean I am a devil, it doesn't mean I want to fight.

Look into my eyes once as you pass me by.

Can you really see a killer?....Come on, don't lie.

You know you see something, a soulful sadness in my eye.

Please take me out of here.

Please......Don't let me die."

 

I know there are bad dogs out there but i think any beerd of dog has the potential. I have been bit by a Chow and my brother was bit by a German Shepard....Go figure...never by a pit.

I believe its all on how you raise them and usually its NOT the case of a bad dog, but a bad owner.

How can anyone resist those sweet puppy dog eyes...............
