Pit bulls as "Nanny dogs"

That muscular chest.....that big head.....that massive and strong looking jaw! I just don't like seeing that dog next to that little baby! :(

Pit bulls’ surprising past: Nanny dogs

By Claudine Zap | The Upshot – Thu, Jun 2, 2011

Try to quickly summon an image of good-with-small-children dog, and chances are you'll picture something adorably Benji-shaggy. Or maybe a sweetie-pie golden retriever, or a loveball of a lab. It's not likely, at least not in today's perception of the breed, that an American pit bull terrier leaps to mind.

But not so long ago, pit bulls were brought in as "nanny dogs," the trusted caretaker pups to watch over kids.

Vintage photographs recently posted on a personal blog show off the breed as babysitter.

Loyal Resistance

Proud to be a Liberal. The republican party has succeeded in demonizing the word Liberal which actually means: "NOT LIMITED TO OR BY ESTABLISHED, TRADITIONAL, ORTHADOX OR AUTHORITARIAN ATTITUDES, VIEWS OR DOGMAS; FREE FROM BIGOTRY. FAVORING PROPOSALS FOR REFORM, OPEN TO NEW IDEAS FOR PROGRESS AND TOLERANT OF THE IDEAS AND BEHAVIOR OF OTHERS; BROAD-MINDED" -the American Heritage dictionary-. These are exactly my convictions so once again, I state: "I AM PROUD TO BE A LIBERAL!!"
