If it's a good dog, it's labeled an AST. Bad dog, it's called a Pit Bull... even if it's NOT REMOTELY a Pit Bull.

I'm a little tired of the argument, I've carried it for a long time. I've rescued a number of Pitties, they're sweet, wonderful dogs, usually terribly abused yet have a great ability to move past their history (unlike my Shepherd mix, who is a wreck). I'm tired of the public assumption, that they are all crazy and that they just "snap" - any animal will snap if you put them on a three foot tire chain with no shelter, not enough water or food, and hit it all the time to make it "mean."

People are stupid. End of story.
