"Pit bulls" and their owners often face scrutiny. "Pit bulls" that come from dog fighting operations have an even tougher road to travel. This video dispels some of the myths about "pit bulls," and also shows that "pit bulls" that have survived dog fighting abuse are still dogs and deserve a chance to lead normal lives after they are rescued.

It's important to remember that this video shows what is possible, not what is necessary. Not every dog needs to be great in open play packs to be a great dog. We don't like everyone we meet and it's just fine if dogs don't either.

Suzie and Hercules are both Pinups for Pitbulls (pinupsforpitbulls.com) sponsored cruelty survivors from Montgomery Co., KS. Huge thank you to the ladies at Pinups for Pitbulls, we couldn't help dogs like Herc and Shortcake without you!

    Pets depend on you to make their life a quality life!

    A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
    • My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
    • Give me time to understand what you want of me.
    • Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
    • Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
    • Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
    • Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
    • Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
    • Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
    • Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
    • On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
    Because of your pet, do you recall… the time your pet swapped a moment of sadness with joy?


    Remember this… “Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to harm YOU”
