PIT BULL POEM...

[Guest Anonymous]

A Day At The Park


He is just like other dogs I would always say; He loves to go to the dog
park to play every day

Everyone loves him there, so it's ok; My dog won't fight--he wasn't
raised that way

But then one day, right before dark, A troubled young man came into
the park

He had by his side the biggest dog I'd ever seen, And unfortunately for
us, both were quite mean

We asked very nicely if they would just go; The dog answered with a
snarl and the man with a harsh "NO!"

Well his dog was a terror, threatening to all; Then he started a fight
with a Lab over a ball

They fought pretty hard and the man would not intervene; Then here
comes my dog and pushes right in between

He grabbed that big dog and thrashed him around; And with one quick
jerk threw him down on the ground

The Lab was able to escape; I heard everyone cheer; But my dog was
now in a frenzy and would not let me near

When he finally let go, what I saw stopped my heart; That big mean
dog had been torn apart

The authorities were called, the big dog was now dead; But they didn't
take the big dog; they took my dog instead

We all tried to explain that my dog saved the day; But because of his
breed he was taken away

You see my dog was a Pitbull and they don't get any breaks; One small
incident is all that it takes

A dog had died; And though he hadn't started the fight, My dog was
held responsible for what happened that night

He was deemed a danger to all and sentenced to death; And I hold him
now as he takes his last breath

It's my fault that my dog is being killed today; Please listen for a
moment to what I am going to say

Everyone warned me about his potential to fight; I said it won't
happen, I am raising him right

And now my dog is paying the ultimate price; Because I was stubborn
and wouldn't take the advice

He only did what he was bred to do; Learn from our story; don't let it
happen to you.

GREAT POEM!!! I think 90% of PitBull owners think that way and I am one. I know one day something might happen but I pray every day something like that wont happen. If she shows any thing like that then she will stay home.

What Animal Do I Speak Of?

Their love is like no other; their heart is pure as gold.
Yet while going on a friendly walk, they're faced with stares of cold.

They're so very close to human, in how they act and what they do. Unless you've known their devoted love, it's impossible to explain to you.

They are greatly more misunderstood, than any other breed. We tend to punish this loyal dog, instead of mankind's deeds.

They are always and forever clowns, with a wish for center stage.Yet while displaying this sense of humor, most people disengage.

They, oh, so want to make new friends, and run and jump and play. Yet when they happily approach, most people shy away.

Often I've seen children poke, or hop on for a ride.
And when I felt they might get mad, they've only beamed with pride.

I've seen these children yank and pull, with nary a reaction.Yet media's not interested, unless they've put someone in traction.

They love to snuggle up real close, to give lots of loves and kisses.Yet they suffer more than any, from unfair prejudices.

What animal do I speak of, whose love is so unique?
If you've truly known one, you know of whom I speak.

There is no creature on this earth who will ever make you merrier. The animal I do speak of, it's the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Those poems were great. I can't even imagine my pit attacking anything. I never even let her around other dogs that are agressive in order to prevent anything from happening. I wish people could understand that it is how a person raises the dog. I don't even think that my pit even realizes that she's a dog let alone a powerful one. She let a golden retriever attack her. She just rolled over on her back. I'm know if I was in danger she would protect me but what good dog wouldn't.

Beta it is how a person raises a dog. And my pit has let a Shiht zu (sp) bite and snap at her and she just took it. It all depends on if they feel they are threatened or not. I truly hope that your Pit never feels the need to protect herself. Just never forget that if she wanted to she could have killed that dog, never let her get to the point where she feels that she needs to. They will only take so much before they strike back. Keep up the good work. :D
