December 04, 2016
A New York City teen says she owes her life to a heroic pitbull puppy that saved her from an attack by an attempted rapist. Maya Fairweather, 18, told the amazing story to the New York Post, explaining that she took her boyfriend's five-month-old pitbull, Apollo, for a walk in a Brooklyn park Monday night. Fairweather said she let Apollo off the leash so he could play and that she had her earphones in. Then she felt someone tug on her from behind and turned around, thinking it was her boyfriend. Instead, a man pushed her to the ground and began trying to remove her pants. Fairweather said she froze, terrified and closed her eyes because "they say that if you see their face, they will kill you." But Apollo jumped into action. Fairweather said he chomped down on the leg of the attacker, who struggled to free himself and then ran away.

It’s time to stop demonizing pit bulls
May 20, 2016
It looked like a “pit bull” — or the range of breeds that roughly fit the term. Then, and for decades before and after, America’s dog was represented by this loosely identifiable melting-pot mutt. It showed up as Petey on “The Little Rascals.” It was the choice companion of presidents as different as Teddy Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter. It provided company to both Gary Cooper and Helen Keller. Theodor Geisel — the real name of Dr. Seuss — who wrote “The Cat in the Hat,” kept a pit bull in the parlor.
