Hooray for National Pit Bull Awareness Day
Need a cure for the Monday blues? Our photo feature is here to help provide a brief diversion from your workday routine with a small dose of squee, wow and awwww. Enjoy!
Pit bull terriers may have a poor reputation in the media, but we're out to prove that these short-haired, muscular dogs are as safe and gentle as any other dogs and should be judged as individuals. See for yourself with these photos of adorable pit-bull-terrier-like dogs who are all available for adoption from Best Friends.
