People are so damn ignorant when it comes to pitbulls.

I have a pitbull. I have a purebred pitbull that I adopted from a shelter. He is my pride and joy, and he has come so far in terms of his ability to socialize with other dogs and humans. Essentially, he's a giant stuffed bear.

I took him to the dog park a couple days ago, and he was bitten by a husky puppy. Now, I don't blame the dog or the owner; the puppy was trying to play with my dog, and my dog was just walking away from the puppy, trying to ignore her. But a bit of my dog's ear had been bitten, so he had to be rushed to the emergency room.

He's wearing a cone now, and he can't take it off for two weeks.

But whenever anyone sees him when I take him for walks now, they look at his cone and his giant stitches and cross the street. A couple people even asked me how I can take care of such a monster.

A monster?

A motherfucking monster?!

Pitts are the sweetest dogs ever if they are treated properly, just like any other dog. They are the best cuddlers, and it is because of a few disgusting people that they have a bad rep.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
