Oh get off it.

I’m not much fond of false impressions anyway, regardless of dog type. Yes, I do not like any of the pit-type dogs, which encompasses many breeds but some have definitely had it bred out of them, such as Bulldogs, Bostons and so on. I used to defend them but no more. Even wrote a long paper for college about the poor PBTs. I still defend against BSL, but not because it’s discriminatory.

Bottom line though it bugs me when people get and give the wrong impression. Stubby was not a war dog, period. And doubtless he wasn’t the only mascot who warned his fellows of nearby strangers.

It bugs me that people have been made to believe later named Rin Tin Tins were descendants of the real Rinty, when they are not. It bugs me Bill Nack made everyone believe Secretariat lost a race because he had an abscess, but there is no actual evidence of that, yet people continue to propagate that lie so the superhorse had an excuse. Lies and deception bug me. You may think it’s minor but it is not.

My grandfather was also in France for WWI. So what? And by conservative standards, I can’t offer much service anyway, being a mere woman. By your definition, any dog living with a unit as a pet offered more service. So be it.

A lot of verbage when your whole intent is to smear a pit bull
