Being a pit bull owner is full of all the joys of dog ownership, along with some painful circumstances that only other pitty owners could possibly understand. Here are ten trials and tribulations of owning a pitty.
#1 – Having to choose where you live based on whether or not your dog is welcome
#2 –Getting dirty looks when you walk your dog down the street because people assume he’s aggressive
#3 – There is nothing like a bully cuddle
#4 –Being denied entry at a dog friendly place due to your dog’s breed – even if he is a service dog
#5 – You enter the dog park and all the other dog owners grab their dog and leave
#6 – His smile can brighten even the darkest day
#7 – The feeling when someone says “your dog should be put down, it’s dangerous”
#8 – You’ve mastered the art of convincing others your dog is a lab and shepherd mix – you can even point out which part of their body belongs to which breed
#9 – The feeling when you tell your friends you’re pregnant and they ask you when you are getting rid of your dog
#10 – The amazing feeling when someone meets your dog and says “I had no idea pit bulls where so sweet.”
