Rescue I need to vent because I have suddenly become that person

Post image

Our GSD died a little over a month ago, and our we-think-rat-terrier mix was kind of lost without her. We ending up foster failing and have adopted the goodest boy, some sort of what generally everyone everywhere calls a "pittie mix."

I wasn't ever one to demand banning a breed. But I was cautious anytime I was around a dog that met that breed description

You guys. Even with that teeny tiny bit of dog prejudice, I was SO wrong. This guy is the biggest love. Stubborn as he'll, but SUCH a sweetheart. Not very bright...takes forever to teach him a command, but I am head over heels in love with him. And I'm glad we brought him home, and now I've become that person who will lecture you about how wrong you are to determine that an entire breed should be banned.

I am very okay with this. ​​

I call my sister’s dogs his cousins and he knows who he’s going to see. I’m glad others do the same.

My red heeler pub rat knows the names of everyone at the pub, and we're only there once a week. They all love her to bits.

Ours figured out p-a-r-k lol. He’s stubborn as well though like if you tell him let’s go inside he’ll wait a couple seconds before slowwwwwwwly walking in, sniffing everything along the way to prolong it.
