Pit Bulls Save Chihuahua From Coyote
In Littleton, Colorado, Buster the Chihuahua mix went out early on a Saturday morning for his regular bathroom break. While outside taking care of his business, the Chihuahua was brutally attacked by a coyote in his owner’s backyard. Luckily for Buster, the neighbor’s Pit Bulls were also out doing their morning ritual at the same time, and they chased the coyote as it ran off with Buster. (more…)

Let the Sterilizations Begin
In San Bernardino, California, animal control will begin enforcing a newly implemented dog spay and neuter initiative to help control the pet population. I am still on the fence with this one. On one hand I think it’s great to enforce legislation that will ultimately prevent the excessive breeding and selling of dogs. On the other hand it leaves a sour taste in my mouth that Pit Bull and “Pit Bull type dogs” are the only breeds being targeted. This mandatory sterilization program reeks of BSL to me, just packaged a bit differently for the public to digest
Apparently, the animal control officers in SB are going to be taking to the streets for this initiative. They’ll be knocking on doors, and checking on the resident dog(s) license status, as well as whether or not they are altered. The animal control officers will also be visually determining whether or not the dog meets the criteria for a “Pit Bull”, and can give the dog’s owner a citation if they are in possession of an unaltered, Pit Bull type dog.

Walter – A True Breed Ambassador
Walter the Pit Bull was left on the streets to die. See how this tiny puppy once affected with mange has blossomed into a happy, healthy and well adjusted adolescent.
Kudos to the Today Show for airing this Pit Bull positive article! We need more clips like this to be aired in the mainstream media to help change people’s perceptions about these wonderful dogs.

Tips to Keep Your Bully Safe
Unfortunately, owning a bully breed dog such as a Pit Bull, American Bulldog, Bull Terrier, etc. often means that you don’t catch any breaks. One small incident is all it takes to jeopardize the life you share with your pet. YOUR dog may not be trained to fight, but the propensity for fighting exists throughout their lineage, and it is in your dog’s best interest to protect them from situations that may escalate into trouble.

Why BSL is Bad for Everyone
WARNING – The video contains graphic material.
This video shows why Breed Specific Bans do nothing to solve the problem of bad owners. Educating the public about this breed and the injustices people commit against them is one of the best ways to advocate for them. Our pit bulls can’t talk, so let this video be their voice. Punish the deed, not the breed.

10 Reasons Not to Trust a Pit Bull
Top Ten Reasons “Vicious” Pit Bulls (and their bully counterparts) Can Not Be Trusted
- They will steal your spot on the couch while you are up getting popcorn.
- They will wag their tail with such exuberance and excitement when you return home that it knocks over everything on your coffee table.
- They will jump on your bed with muddy feet.
- They will excitedly welcome and lick visitors with an uncontrolled passion only they understand.
- They will cause children to smile (and most likely want to ride them around the house like a pony).

Dog Ate Fish Oil
I came home from a quick, two hour long trip to the store to find a 400 capsule bottle of fish oil pills spilled out onto the dog’s bed. We’ve been giving them one, 1000 mg capsule per day to help with arthritis and inflammation – turns out they like them a bit too much… Upon closer inspection, and a re-count, I estimate that my dog(s) ate between 150-175 of the Omega-3 Fish Oil pills. Both dogs seem fine (even the one I know ate them all on his own). After doing some reading and researching of my own I’ve found that there is no “remedy” for a Fish Oil overdose, either in dogs or humans, and that the best thing to do is to offer supportive therapy.

Getting a Dog, Must Rehome Baby
Rehoming AWESOME Baby
Female baby, 1 year old, Caucasian, and sweet as can be. Just found out we’re getting a dog, and have to rehome the baby because I am unable to devote the time to her that she deserves. She is adorable, loving, sweet and a major part of our family, but the time has come for us to part ways. We are looking for a family that is perfect, and we have no problem judging your worthiness based on arbitrary markers of success including: the type of car you drive, neighborhood where you live, money in your bank account, and what designer labels comprise your wardrobe.

Don’t let what the mass media and other unsavvy outlets may lead you to believe, there is nothing wrong with letting your Pit Bull play with a Spring Pole.
