We Are Responsible Pit Bull Owners and We are Thankful for Our Dogs

Greetings from Bully Breed Rescue.

We have a message for our community: We Are Responsible Pit Bull Owners and We are Thankful for Our Dogs

This week, we asked our Facebook fans (over 26,000 folks) to send us a photo of their Pit Bulls and to tell us why they were thankful for their dogs...What we got in response was nothing short of extraordinary. Hundreds of photos and hundreds of stories are still pouring in from across the country. View our Facebook page here, https://www.facebook.com/BullyBreedRescueInc

These are just a few of the messages we got in response: 

"I'm thankful for my Pit Bull because, he filled a space in my heart that I didn't know was empty."

"I'm thankful for our Pit Bulls because I always come home to a smile and wagging tails! No matter how hard the day has been it's impossible not to be happy when you're being greeted by these guys!"

"I'm thankful for my Pit Bull because she saved my life."

"I am thankful for my Pit Bull because if you are sick, sad, or hurt she won't leave your side. She is comforting and the best snuggler ever."

We are responsible Pit Bull owners and we have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Our love for the most maligned breed of dog in the universe is strong and true. In a world where they are neglected, used and abused - they choose love. And we choose them.

If you don't know a Pit Bull personally, our hope is that these photos will inspire you to look at Pit Bulls in a different light. If you are lucky enough to have a Pit Bull in your life, we hope this album touches your heart and makes you smile. Our dogs are cherished members of our families, a child's first best buddy, loyal friends who celebrate our joys and comfort us in times of sorrow. They are our true companions.
