2007: Jodi Preis, the founder of the Tennessee-based pit bull rescue and education group Bless the Bullys, established National Pit Bull Awareness Day. The nationwide event was founded to educate the public and restore the image of the American Pit Bull Terrier, which had been negatively impacted by decades of bad press.

Breeds commonly mistaken as pit bulls
What is a pit bull? Pit bull is short for American Pit Bull Terrier, a dog breed. Although it is often used as an umbrella term for other bully breeds, that is not correct. Mislabeling can be harmful to pit bulls and other bully breeds. #bullybreed #pitbull #dogs #dog #MyPetDiary #lemon8

STOP labeling Pit Bulls as bad dogs.
READ HERE!: Pit bulls have a bad reputation, people call them aggressive or dangerous. But let me tell you the truth.. that’s not who they are by nature. Pit bulls are strong, loyal, and intelligent dogs. Their behavior depends on how they’re raised and treated, not their breed. In fact, many stu
