the pups immediately made personal connections to me and called out for my attention. In particular, one of the Pit Bull mixes made a desperate plea for me to simply move over to her enclosure and acknowledge her presence.

Their reputation is one of brutality and ferocity, and assumptions are made for the entire breed based on the poor, misrepresented actions of a few canines. Allowing for a minority of pit bulls to speak for the entire breed is a concept in which Americans are well versed, often tolkenizing one on the behalf of many. Because of this tendency to allow for one to speak for an entire group or population, it is…
