We extend our deepest sympathies to Mrs. Chambers for the senseless loss of her pet. Judging anyone based on how they look has caused an enormous amount of grief on this planet - First between our races and now with our pets. Dogs - like people- deserve to be viewed as individuals and treated accordingly based on behavior, not appearance.

We're ever grateful to the UK for the little staffy dogs now known as pit bulls that came to the US back in the 1800s. They're beautiful animals and we enjoy them as family pets in tens of thousands of homes. To see them condemned in their countries of origin is heart breaking, to say the least.

Best wishes to everyone who works to change the dangerous dogs laws so bad ownership practices can be targeted and good families can be supported in owning loving, well managed pets no matter what they happen to look like.
