Once the "nanny dog"
Now seen as a savage beast
Thanks to bad humans
This is a dedication to today's most misunderstood dog breed: the American pitbull terrier. These dogs were once known as the "nanny dog" because they are extremely good with children. I've met many pitbulls, and the only harm they could bring to humans was whacking them via excessive tail wagging. Aside from the soreness that comes from happy tails, they're easy to get along with.

The “Nanny Dog” myth was started in 1971 by Lilian Rant, President of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of America, in an attempt to save her failing puppy mill.


Continuing to parrot this ridiculous myth is endangering and killing children. They are bloodsport dogs, not pets.
