Some dog breeds have a bad rep. And pit bulls are one of them.

Because of the common misconceptions that pit bulls are aggressive and cruel, this breed is likely to suffer the most. This has an especially negative impact on bully breeds that are weak and wind up in shelters where they have a decreased chance of getting adopted.

Pitbulls are actually the most commonly euthanized breed in the US. Perhaps this explains why people love sharing photos of their "vicious and aggressive" pitbull acting like sweethearts.

They are adorable, kind, and gentle dogs. When given proper care in a loving home, they will be the sweetest dogs in the world.

Unfortunately, their tragedy is that many people who love the breed love it for all the wrong reasons. And they make them antisocial and train them to fight and be aggressive.

Due to their history in dog fighting, and the number of high-profile assaults reported in the media over decades, pit bull-type dogs have a contentious reputation as pets both in the US and overseas. Pit bull supporters and proponents of regulation have engaged in a nature vs. nurture argument over whether or not the breed's apparent aggressive tendencies can be properly attributed to how its owners raise the dog or to its innate characteristics.

We are showcasing some of the most adorable photos of pit bulls being sweet, kind, and cuddly. It is their true nature:

Pit bulls are a devoted, sociable breed that enjoys being a member of the family. With both adults and children, they are friendly, loving creatures that love to play and cuddle.

Pamela Reid, a vice president of the ASPCA's Animal Behavior Center in New York. says that "In general, pit bulls aren't aggressive with people but are “less tolerant” of other dogs than many other breeds."

The Animal Foundation's Leid animal shelter adopts thousands of dogs a year, including many pit bull terriers and we're happy to report that pit bulls make great family pets. Like all dogs, pit bull terriers are individuals who are just as likely to be safe and gentle as any other dog.
