Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Dog abuse is wrong. Almost every day a dog dies because of abuse. Just because they made a mistake. The people know what’s happening to these poor dogs, but none have the courage to stand up and stop this abuse. Dogs show a lot of love to their owners, and even the smallest hearts show love. So why do owners show hate and no love back? Most people don’t like dogs because videos have shown a dog being bad, or a personality of a dog being bad, but not all dogs are bad. Most dogs that are bad…

Under breed laws, dogs are not assessed individually, but are stereotyped as a whole as dangerous. Ontario, Canada passed a breed ban that banned pit bulls, even though statistics showed that German Shepherds held the top spot for bites. Also, as I mentioned above, studies done on a number of household breeds revealed that small, toy sized dogs were among the top seven breeds showing owner directed…

The classification of canines known as pit bulls are feared by many people and are often viewed by society as vicious animals. Many people are frightened by pit bulls but they are not instinctively aggressive however their temperament is influenced by the owner.

Sutton Hoo was located in Woodbridge, England, and it was discovered to be an Anglo-Saxon cemetery that dates from the 6th and 7th centuries AD. It was located on Edith Pretty’s estate, on a hill overlooking the River Deben, in Suffolk. Pretty had been curious about the mounds of earth located on her land, and she was not sure what they were. She decided to excavate the embankments on her otherwise flat property, and to her surprise, she discovered the archaeological treasures of Sutton Hoo.…

It was a week before spring break, and my cousin, from Notus, Idaho, had come down to visit. We were planning on going to Lava Hot Springs to sit in the hot pools, after school. But that all changed in a matter of seconds. We were all sitting in my living room talking about what the plan for the day was. When my old black lab, named Shadow, started to attack my red lad puppy, named Benelli. Shadow always attacked Benelli, because Shadow didn’t like puppies or other male dogs. So I did what we…

Growing up in the suburbs, I always knew my family was treated differently. It wasn’t just my family; other Pit bulls like me were also treated differently. It has been this way since I was in puppy school. I would be told to move to the back of the room so that the other puppies can sit in the front. Naturally I listened to the teacher who holds the power of authority. This was only a minor problem. At age 18, I moved to the city with my best friend, Michael to pursue our dreams. We became…

Dogs communicate through body language they show us signs when they are afraid, stressed, happy, depressed, irritated and they even show us love and compassion. However some signs are easy to miss or misread. There are hundreds of body cues that dogs use and humans easily misunderstand their dogs or…

If you see a person walking around with a pitbull what would you do? Walk away? Think the owner is a bad person? Think the owner is crazy? People think that pitbulls are a very dangerous breed and that they should be banned. I think otherwise. Yes pitbulls can attack people and pitbulls look scary, they still shouldn’t be banned.
