Doggie Death Row
Here’s an article about Pit Bulls that isn’t entirely negative:
Moses is a good dog. But the 40-pound pooch with big brown eyes is on doggy death row here in Prince George’s County for one simple reason: He was born a pit bull.
In the seven years since a rash of vicious attacks led Prince George’s to outlaw the breed, the county has seized and euthanized more than 6,100 of the squat, muscular terriers.
But some officials in this densely populated Washington suburb are having second thoughts. A county task force denounced the ban as costly to taxpayers and unfair to responsible dog owners. And the County Council is now considering a repeal, renewing a charged debate over the best defense against dogs that maul.
The dog in the picture doesn’t appear to me to be a pit bull.

His nose is a little longer and narrower than most, but that’s not unheard of. Mine is like that, too.
