I could literally ride this dog into battle.
and I would.
For anyone wondering, that last pic is another awesome breed called the Tibetan Mastiff 🙂
Fun fact: Tibetan Mastiffs were often “paired” with Tibetan Spaniels. The Tibetan Spaniel is a natural-born tattle tale and would run along monastery walls to keep an eye out for intruders. Upon spotting someone suspicious they would go get the big dog.
It details how the pit bull’s “superpredator” reputation didn’t exist until the 70s – when they became associated with Black and Latino people in the inner cities. Before that, pits were considered friendly (see Petey in The Little Rascals in the 1930s) and even uncommonly heroic.
Myths were created to paint pits as fearful beasts with a natural propensity for violence, such as the “locking jaw” myth.
(If you’re wondering what this has to do with PETA, the organization supports banning, ie killing, all pit bull dogs).
Read the article if you have a chance – this is how deeply ingrained societal racism works.
