DESCRIPTION:

Created in 2007, National Pit Bull Appreciation Day seeks to educate the population about the fantastic qualities of the oft-maligned category of dogs called pit bulls or pitties.

The dog originated in England, Ireland, Scotland, and the United States.

Pit bulls are a class of work dogs created by crossbreeding bulldogs with terriers that excel in farmwork, as companions for the disabled, as police and guard dogs, and as pets. Pitties developed a reputation for fierceness due to their misuse as bait animals for hunting and dog fighting as a sport.

There is no evidence to suggest pit bulls are more aggressive or dangerous than other breeds. The common denominator in aggressive dog behavior nearly always traces back to the owner's behavior and the animal's training. Still, the stigma has stuck, often making the dogs challenging to adopt or the target of laws.

National Pit Bull Awareness Day aims to correct these misrepresentations and celebrate these loyal, intelligent, and beloved dogs.
