Description All the other dogs were wild and barking and growling at me and my camera (they REALLY didnt like my camera), but this dog was real mellow, never barked at all.

This guy needs to be shot. American Pit Bull Terriers were NEVER meant to be guard dogs. They were not bred for that. Dumb ass thugs are what give these dogs bad names.

if you get this one, or already have it, DONT TRAIN IT TO FIGHT! my pug protects me and i didnt have to teeach her at all, but most of the time when pitbulls are trained to fight, they end up killing or hurting you.

This is really a beautiful dog portrait
Dogs fights are really a shame, I feel so sad when I think about all the cruelties human beings do to animals...

Stories like that break my heart. I just got the cutest 18-month old Pitbull puppy four days ago. She's so sweet and well-behaved and wouldn't hurt a fly..This little guy is so cute! But I hope the guy who bred them for fighting gets eaten. lol Ahh..so angry!

Although it is a shame for people to breed dogs to be agressive or fight, people have to realise that a photographer or photojournalist cannot rush to help every troubled living thing they take a photo of.

If one takes a photo of a jailed man who is going to be freed a week later, the photo is nowhere near as poignant as the one of the man a few cells up facing life imprisonment. Sure, it is horrible. But that is part of the job. To capture it and show the world the things they are ignorant of. These photos uncover hope in peoples hearts.

Brilliant photo. Hope this dog finds a family. Eventually.

Awwww... I have a pitbull mix puppy and his face looks very similar to his.. breaks my heart to think someone could train a innocent pup like this to crave blood so bad

You've captured a great sense of sadness in this puppies eyes. Kinda like he feels like he's the black sheep outta the bunch.. a lover, not a fighter.

If he doesn't fight, they will duck tape his mouth shut, and use him as bait.

I agree, you should report him, no animal deserves to be tortured, You must do something when you knew about that situation. The wordt thing about knowing of a situation like this is to know about it, be able to do something to save thes poor animals, and not do something.

The guy isnt forcing any dogs to fight, as far as i know. Hes just breeds pitbulls and maybe trains them to be a little extra aggressive. Whether or not these dogs end up being used for fighting depends entirely on the person he sells the dog to. He just as well wants to sell a pitbull to be used as a tough watchdog, rather be used just for fighting. Also, and I might catch shit for this, but dog fighting isnt always as profoundly fucked up as the news and tv makes it out to be. Not saying i approve of it, it is fucked up, im just saying the facts are often exaggerated or misleading

He shouldn't be breeding them. He needs to be reported to ACC. He has no idea what he is doing obviously, if his dogs are acting mean. He is breeding for the wrong reasons, and killing innocent dogs everywhere. People like him are why places have BSL.

If you feel the guy is breeding dogs for fighting then please report him to the police or the humane society in your area. No animal should have to be tortured, you can be their only voice.

This is an amazing photo... it captures the very soul of the poor little fellow. It's truly a shame if he is going to be raised as a fighting dog... he deserves better. D:
