Behind an inescapable fence
Every one fears my breed
It doesn't make sense
I'm like every other dog
I act how I am trained
I sadly watch as people pass
I needn't be restrained
Look into my baby blues
I am a dog
Like any other
Just a different hue

sweet pit.
he is beautiful and amen to the poem..
you are exactly right. Dogs only know what they are taught....just like us.
Poor misunderstood boy...
There seem to be a certain kind of people here in the Netherlands who own pit bulls. And often they are the ones who don't give that animal the best kind of training. I know that sounds like I have a prejudiced point of view, but it is based on reality.
Oh what a shame. You only have to look at Cesar Milan's pitbull Daddy to see what a sweet natured dog they can be. It is the idiots who own them, not the dogs who are at fault.

which is why i like Pits so much.
it is hard to see through a dog's eye...
Darn tootin! Nice take on the prompt!
The eyes say it all.
pretty sad when people or pups are treated different because of who they are....
Great post, Gail. ♥
Well done Gail! WE shouldn't judge a dog because of a sad, bad few~
Rather moving response to the prompt...
It hurts my heart when I see a dog chained and in a closed area like that. Looking out at the world and hoping to be there. I freed a dog once because of that. I shall tell you the story one day, but end result - dog is happy on farm :)
Awesomely said! I wondered with the bulldog prompt when someone was going to write about this! And well done!
This isn't a pit bull. It is a bull-dog. Which were bred for dog fighting, I think. When it became illegal in England, they preserved the breed by breeding out the ferociousness and keeping the sweet temperament. They are supposed to be amazing with children.

I know your poem does not say it is a Pit Bull - but a lot of people who commented thought so.
I hear the yearning in your poem :)
My GOD!! I Love the Pit. ♥
