This I Believe
I believe that pitbulls are not mean dogs. When I was about eleven years old I was sitting in my room watching TV. Then a show called “Pitbulls and Parolees” came on the TV. The show started to talk about how Pitbulls are one of the most mistreated dogs. I felt bad for them. I then did some research on Pitbulls and it said they are better family dogs than others. I presented the idea of getting a pitbull to my mom and she was like “No way dude!” My mom watched the show again with me and she started to feel bad for them too! She was skeptical about getting a pitbull but I told her to do some research on them. My mom then agreed to get a pitbull. To get a dog, we had to get a fence. We waited about 9 months to save for the fence. I was very impatient waiting and Ii was thinking of what my neighbors would think because they all have little dogs and they think my dog might eat their dogs. Maybe about two days before our fence was put up in the backyard, me, my mom, and my sister went to the shelter to start looking for a dog. We walked through the shelter for about ten minutes and we saw one that we all liked. We then asked the volunteers at the shelter if we could take the dog for a walk and get to know more about her. At that moment, we all knew she was the one. I was very excited that we were finally getting a dog, but at the same time I was impatient. I felt this way because we had to wait about a week or something to pick her up and bring her home. This experience has made me have a different perspective on stereotypes. I have learned not to judge anyone or anything until you get to know them. The theme of “Pitbulls and Parolees” is second chances. I have given the Pitbull breed a second chance by adopting one.This has been a positive experience and there is more to come. Maybe one day, you will try to give something or someone a second chance.
