Pit Bull

If you’re Living in Hawaii you’d better not be scared of pit bulls. The pit bull terrier has got to be the most popular dog in Hawaii. My family and I used to go down to the humane society all the time, and I swear about 85% of the dogs had at least a bit of Pit mixed in.

Today’s Hawaii Picture of the Day is a portrait of “Pretty”; who we’ve been dog sitting for the past week and a half. I was a little skeptical at first about having a pit bull in our back yard, when we have young kids and a 3lbs chihuahua. But, after this time with Pretty, I definitely buy into the idea that how a dog is raised is more important than it’s breed. This particular dog was more likely to lick someone to death than bite them … and that includes our chihuahua.

I still doubt I’ll ever own a pit bull … but I also don’t think I’ll be quite as likely to prejudge them in the future.

Aloha til next time,
