Here are some other facts.

Stubby, a pit bull, used in WWI is the most decorated dog in US history.

Weela, a pit bull from Southern California, has saved 30 people, 29 dogs, 13 horses, and a cat during a flood in 1993.

Pit Bulls are commonly used as therapy dogs. Whether they are visiting a senior care facility or helping someone recover from an emotional accident, Pit Bulls are making a mark as outstanding therapy dogs.

Pit Bulls are used in Search and Rescue work. One example of well known SAR Pit Bulls is Kris Crawford and her dogs. Kris and her dogs have helped save the lives of many people during their efforts. (Here we have a pit bull saving lives, rather than taking them as previously suggested)

Pit Bulls serve as narcotic and bomb sniffing dogs. One Pit Bull, Popsicle (named that because he was found in an old freezer) has the largest recorded single drug find in Texas history.

Pit Bulls are great with kids. They weren't referred to as the "nanny's dog" for nothing that's for sure.

Pit Bulls are not human aggressive. The American Pit Bull Terrier as a breed is not human aggressive. In fact, quite the opposite is true of the breed. They are gentle and loving dogs. Like any dog individuals can be unsound and have behavior problems.

The Pit Bull was so popular in the early 1900's they were our mascot not only in World War One, but World War Two as well. They were featured on recruiting and propoganda posters during this time period.

Sgt. Stubby. A Pit Bull war hero. Stubby was wounded in action twice, he saved his entire platoon by warning them of a poison gas attack and he single handedly captured a German spy. (Again, saving lives rather than taking them)

Pete the Pup on the orginal Little Rascals was a Pit Bull.
