Pit Bull pulls baby from fire
Yes I am just posting this just to piss off the cupcakes.
https://www.sacbee.com/news/state/ca...212886564.html CALIFORNIA 'Hero pup' pit bull tries to save baby from house fire by carrying her by the diaper BY MATTHEW MARTINEZ mmartinez@mcclatchy.com A mother in Stockton, California, says her 8-month-old pit bull is a "hero pup" for saving her and her baby's lives last week when a fire broke out in another unit of her fourplex. Sasha the puppy and 7-month-old Masailah have a special bond, their mom, Nana Chai, told KCRA. "She's in her bed every day," Chai told the station. "They take baths together and everything." inRead invented by Teads So it's no wonder that Sasha went straight for Masailah as soon as she felt heat coming through their door just before midnight on Sunday.

The pit bull alerted her owner that something was wrong first by barking and yelping, before any of Nana's human senses detected that anything was wrong. It was one of the few times Nana had left Shasha outside in the backyard for longer than just a few minutes, she told KTXL. The dog was going berserk, yelping and pounding at the back door. "I open it and she runs in and starts barking at me like crazy, and I was like, 'OK, this is weird. This is not like her,'" Nana told the station. As she got closer to the door, she saw a glow coming from next door, her cousin's unit in the fourplex. Sasha was already on her way to get her best friend. Nana, 30, rushed to her Masailah's room, but Sasha had beaten her there. The dog was trying to carry her out of bed and to safety — by Masailah's diaper. "She has my baby by the diaper just dragging her off the bed — trying to get her to safety." They got out of their home unharmed, but all of Nana's unit in the fourplex is now unlivable, according to a GoFundMe campaign started by Nana's sister Christine White. The money will go to "help not only my family but also Sasha our hero pup start a new life in a new home." Nana told McClatchy on Saturday that Sasha is staying with her aunt until Nana finds a new home for the family, and she misses all four of her humans — Nana, Masailah and her two older sisters. "She misses the kids and sleeping in their beds. I take the kids over there so Sasha doesn't cry all day," Nana said. "It's hard to answer the questions, 'Where are we going to live?' and 'Are we going to be homeless?' when I'm trying to figure that out as well, so right now we're leaning on each other." |

Any canine can inflict serious damage dude. I worked for a vet for 6 years. I've been nailed by damn near every breed, and fake breed, of dog you can think of. |

But that doesn't fit the anti pit narrative. Those are "special circumstances?" Put an under exercised dog in a room with toddlers and see what happens.
My cousin's lab bit a 9 year old in the face last summer, sending her to shock trauma. The girl was told several times to stay out of the dog's face. Not because she is aggressive and not because she isn't good with children. The girl wouldn't leave the dog alone and finally she'd have enough. You do dumb shit, you win dumb prizes. |

She literally grabbed the dog by the face and forced her own face onto the dog. I guess she was going in for a kiss, despite being told to leave the poor dog alone. She got nailed.
There was no newspaper article, it wasn't on the late night news, nor did anyone talk of putting the dog down. If Ally had been a pit she'd have been euthanized on the spot |

The anti pit narrative is well earned. People try to pretend it isn't and tell me how their little pibble wouldn't hurt a fly, and maybe that dog wouldn't. Take your chances I guess. Don't get all bent out of shape when people think less of you for owning one.

One time in Florida an Alligator was attacking a housecat, and a pitbull was walking by. The Pit Bull protected the cat, and fought and killed the gator. Then the cat licked the pit as a gesture of thanks but the Pit Bull got enraged and killed the cat. Crazy.

This week, I am watching my son's pit while he is in Iowa. The mean, vicious thing was so scared of the storm last night that she kept trying to jump in bed with us. She ended up sleeping on the floor beside our bed. This morning, I was awoken by lots of licks and hugs with a wagging tail. That's just one of many of the good interactions with pits that I have had.

What has also been left out is most "pits" aren't even pits. Hell, maybe there was pit in line a few generations back, but most these dogs are mutts. Mastiffs are commonly used to produce larger dogs with larger attitudes. Italian mastiffs, bull mastiffs, presas, cane corso are all commonly used because of their history as protection dogs. Look up the breed standard, and a picture for that matter, and compare it to those monstrosities being sold as "pure bred pits"
