I am a single mother so I have to admit that having a bad looking Pit can be empowering. Specially at night time when its just you and your child. If some one comes to your door its a good feeling to have a beefy dog there to ward off potential threats.
Unfortunately that isn't really what I am talking about. Have you ever noticed the Pits that are dressed up in chains with spikes and huge chain links attached to the dog? Or the muzzle that look like a bear should be wearing it and not a dog? It seems to be a status symbol for many. The meaner your dog looks the tougher you must be. The truth is if your doing this with your dog you are only hurting it. People already will cross streets and pick up their children in the presence of a pit bull. By decorating them in "scare wear" you are adding to the problem of there bad reputation. People already know this is a bad ass dog. The media loves to to scare people with this breed and there is countless pictures online of dogs that look dam near evil. These poor dogs are getting banned all over the country so when you dress your dog up to look like a killer that is exactly what people will think of it. Stop doing this if you love your dog. They have enough enemies already!
