Stories that make you cry.

PD showed me a You-Tube video clip on dogs. It touched my heart and it made me cry. The loyalty and the unwavering love of our four-legged fren is definately powerful. It made me cry to know that despite their love for us, there are so many owners out there who still mistreat their dogs or have a mind of throwing them out as they have become an inconvenience.

I read an article before - treat pets like your children - do you throw your child out when he/she inconvenience you?

There are many frens who tell me that its unhealthy to treat phui phui like a son. Does it mean that i cannot love my furry 4-legged as much as I love a human being? I love phui phui - and be it his my son or my pet. I will not love him less because his a dog and not a human-child. I will love him all the same.

How many friends will come to my rescue and put his/her life in danger to safe me. Not many - but I know my furry little boy will. Despite being only 20 odd kilos, any grown man or woman would be much stronger then him. But I have no doubt that Phui will give all he has to protect PD and me. That is something for sure.






** Note : Phui Phui is NOT a pit bull. He is a bull terrier. (",) They are different.

Bull Terriers and Pitbull are different.

There are many people out there who have a misconception that pitbulls are vicious dogs and thus undesirable breeds. In actual fact, it is the owners of pitbulls that are the ones that are to be blame for their wards' behaviour.

Pit bulls are as lovable as an silky terrier can be - affectionate and loyal. The only reason that a pitbull turns on people is because of their loyalty to their owners. They will obey all that their owners command them to. They will bite on command. They will also do all that they can to protect their beloved owners.

Of course, i don't deny that there are pitbulls who attack and kill living things - from animals to human beings. These are probably driven to insanity, or, are trained to kill on sight or command. There is always a vast history to a dog who bite and kill. Unfortunately, there aren't too many people who will stop to analyse and to help understand and educate the general public.

With so many factors on hand - .. .please.. before you classify any dog breed as "killer dog" think twice.

I've heard, and seen obedience trainers' disdaine for such breeds. They scrowl at pit bulls... and outwardly and without thought, state that pit bull/ bull terrors attack human beings. And go on to verify their statement with horror stories that are 2nd hand information. Frightening people in the process giving a false perception of these breeds.

These are professional dog handlers - the last thing that I expected them to do is to . I do agree that warning people of the potential behavioural issues on these breeds are needful. However, it should be done in a way to educate people, and doing it in an un- bias fashion - not to frigthen people and give false impressions on such breeds.

I do agree that pit bull and bull terriers have teeth, that went used in an attack can be damaging and in adverse cases, fatal. We need to be careful when it comes to get acquainted with them -and always. Always. ASK the owner about the furry one's temperament first before you get too cozy. There are ultra friendly ones, there are some that hate to be touched. . . well, just like human beings. Just that they've got sharper teeth then us 2-legged.

So - please.... please... please.. I implore you - These breeds are lovely... they are not to be hated and scoff at like many do today.
