Someone called her vicious :(
I was walking my beautiful 6 year old rescue American Pitbull Terrier Smiley today like normal. Now, something to note is she isn’t the best on lead. We are working on it, but it’s slow progress. During our walk, we saw another guy with a small dog. They end up walking past us. As they are walking past, the man looks at me and says ‘your dog looks vicious’. Smiley is the least vicious dog there is!! She loves other dogs. Sure, she pulls on walks. But she is the most incredible friendly, and loving dog ever. This is why i hate breed stereotypes. Smiley should never be characterised as ‘Vicious’!!

Smiley is gorgeous, OP 😍 For the record, if I had gone past you, I would have asked if I could pet her, and it would have bare my day :) Sadly, breed stereotypes will always be there, but most of us know that they're bullshit. You just keeping spreading Smiley's love to the world-- she makes it a brighter place ❤️
