The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a medium-sized, solidly built, shorthaired dog whose early ancestors came from England and Ireland. It is a member of the molosser breed group. The American Staffordshire Terrier and The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) by breed are from the same lineage; Staffordshires was the name given by AKC, and American Pit Bull Terriers by UKC. The real difference between the two breeds is 6 - 8" in height and 25 - 35 lb in weight; the American Staffordshire being the larger of the two.
The dog was bred first to bait bulls and bears. When bear-baiting and bull-baiting were deemed inhumane, rat-baiting and dog fighting became more popular. The APBT Breed was used in both sports, and its prevalence in being put in pits with rats, or other dogs led to "pit" being added to its name.
The American Pit Bull is medium-sized, and has a short coat and smooth well-defined muscle structure. Its eyes are round to almond shaped, and its ears are small to medium in length and can be natural or cropped. The tail is slightly thick and tapers to a point. The coat is glossy, smooth, short, and stiff to the touch. The accepted coat color can vary widely, but, both the AKC and UKC do not recognize merle coloring.
Twelve countries in Europe, as well as Australia, Canada, Ecuador, Malaysia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Venezuela have enacted some form of breed-specific legislation on pit bull-type dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers, ranging from outright bans to restrictions and conditions on ownership. The state of New South Wales in Australia places restrictions on the breed, including mandatory sterilization. A few counties, and cities in the United States as well as the Province of Ontario in Canada, have outright banned ownership of the American Pit Bull terrier, and the breed is banned in the UK. ~ Wikipedia®

American Pit Bull Terrier
The term pit bull is used in reference to multiple breeds of dog, namely, the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and crosses between the two. However, in a few parts of the world, the American Bulldog is also classified as 'Pit Bull' type dog, despite the fact that they have major genetic differences. In the 90's, the American Bully was created from the American Staffordshire Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier.
to the place I belong
Short version: I came across a dog and took his picture.
Long version: We had a crazy adventure today!
There's this huge plot of land I've been driving by lately and I finally decided to take Hike out there this afternoon for some photos and off leash roaming. It's a lot of ground, and totally deserted, bordering the river with a wall of trees and shrubs.
We're walking along, waiting for the sun to set for more optimal photo light, when I hear barking from the wooded area. Since we were really in the middle of nowhere, I figured some strays had taken up residence in the shade. Not that we get many strays here but y'know, better than thinking someone had dumped some puppies.
I didn't REALLY want to go check it out since it involved crawling through thick vegetation into who knows what, and here I am a single female with a thousand dollars worth of camera on my neck and my car parked 20 yards away - keys in my pocket... No one would even know I was missing!
Of course, Hike, having already made up his mind, dove right in...
Hoping there wasn't a momma dog waiting to rip his head off for going near her pups, what could I do but follow him?
Well, I ended up finding a little campground amidst a cave formed by the trees. I guess some homeless people have been using it as their base. Luckily they weren't there at the time, but this guy was!
I fell in love instantly. GUH. The picture doesn't even cover it; I didn't want to linger and I kept looking over my shoulder so the photos were hasty.
He was incredibly sweet and craving attention, since obviously his humans are out on the streets for most of the day.
He had a companion (pictured below), and they both had food and water, so I shouldn't really be judgmental, but it was so, SO tempting to pull the chain off the tree, load the pup into my car, and drive off.
I'm half and half on the whole "homeless with a dog" situation.
On one hand, I hate when people sit begging on sidewalks with a dog, so you feel bad for the animal and give them a spare buck. On the other hand, I figure, there's hundreds and hundreds of dogs in Indy shelters alone, and they've got much less than these guys do.
While I'm sure a cutie like this pup would find a loving home instantly if given the chance (heck mine's wide open!), maybe he's already lucky enough to have one.
Both dogs seemed healthy, surprisingly clean for the situation they're living in, friendly, happy... a little lonely maybe but we paid them a visit, didn't we? I don't know the circumstances of his people. They're probably doing what they can.
But man, that face... It was hard to leave him behind. Especially since soon after we headed out, a huge thunderstorm rolled in :(
I'll have to check in on them from time to time. Just hope I don't get myself killed!
+2 in the comments. Sorry for the long story but I can't stop thinking about him!
Toby and the greyhounds (I think that was the breed!)
Note: These two were just having an absolute BALL! Massive amounts of play bows, wiggling butts and happy tails, and the greyhound was barking it's head off which Toby thought was SO bizarre lol. When we let them get close they would just wiggle and sniff and lick and then bow at each other and start dancing around. It was REALLY cute to see. Not a speck of DA in Toby at all, he was absolutely thrilled by the whole thing.
To my suprise they actually sat next to eachother for a whole minute, although they didn't look at the camera..
Eddie's leg rolls crack me up XD
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a medium-sized, solidly built, short haired dog whose early ancestors came from England and Ireland. It is a member of the Molosser breed group. The American Staffordshire Terrier and The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) by breed are from the same lineage; Staffordshire’s was the name given by AKC, and American Pit Bull Terriers by UKC. The real difference between the two breeds is 6–8" in height and 25–35 lb in weight; the American Staffordshire Terrier being the larger of the two.
The dog was bred first to bait bulls and bears. When bear-baiting and bull-baiting were deemed inhumane, rat-baiting and dog fighting became more popular. The APBT Breed was used in both sports, and its prevalence in being put in pits with rats, or other dogs led to "pit" being added to its name.
