I am often marveled at canine capacity for forgiveness….check this out. Watch Gremlin and see her story.  Gremlin is a  Pit Bull type dog. She was saved from the wrath of a dog fighting ring.

Exterminating Pit Bulls in Memphis?

Thumbnail image for 'Exterminating Pit Bulls in Memphis? '
“Kill all Pit Bulls, or anything that looks like a Pit Bull” is that really a direct order in Memphis? And they admit not putting many individual Pit Bulls, if at all, up for adoption. What the h*** is wrong with them?

McDonald's Apologizes About Pit Bull Mention

McDonald's Apologizes About Pit Bull Mention
True – trying new menu items at McDonald’s, not risky. I’d argue, that’s fun. In a radio spot, the voice over guy said shaving your head, naming your son ‘Sue,’ all risky – and so is petting a stray Pit Bull. I realize it was just a fun radio spot, or supposed to be. But... Read more »

Licensing Dog Owners, Not the Dogs: Maybe Not Such a Bad Idea

Licensing Dog Owners, Not the Dogs: Maybe Not Such a Bad Idea
As an outcome of the recent attack by two Pit Bull-type dogs in Chicago, Alderman Bob Fioretti (2nd ward) has offered an interesting idea – licensing dog owners. I actually believe the idea is brilliant – or at least a start. The city can better enforce; most municipalities (including Chicago)  license dogs. That’s not very... Read more »

Listen HERE to this very special WGN Radio Petcast (may take a moment to load) On Monday January 2, Joseph Finley was jogging along the south shore lakefront when from nowhere two Pit Bulls and attacked and mauled him.

Superstar Pitcher Is Not Allowed to Move to Miami with a 'Pit Bull'

Superstar Pitcher Is Not Allowed to Move to Miami with a 'Pit Bull'
When Mark played for the White Sox in Chicago, Mark and Jamie Buehrle were much involved with animal welfare related issues. Jamie was hands-on arguably more than most player wives. It’s clear this couple cares. As a few consider Pit Bull bans in Chicago and/or elsewhere – maybe they will take note. For all his... Read more »

Talking Breed Ban In Chicago, Again....STOP! BSL Doesn't Work

Talking Breed Ban In Chicago, Again....STOP! BSL Doesn't Work
Whenever something like this happens – some members of the public over-react, and public officials respond in kind – well meaning….but not effective. Banning a breed (Pit Bull-type dogs always among them) never solves a thing. It’s a response – but not an effective one, not hardly. The owner of the two Pit Bulls that... Read more »

Pit Bull Mix or Not, Judge Orders Service Dog Returned to Jim Sak

Pit Bull Mix or Not, Judge Orders Service Dog Returned to Jim Sak
I have no clue what the issues are in Aurelia, Iowa, a town of about 1,100 people. I am confident that the town  wasted time and money which could have been better spent, maybe on improving services for children, helping citizens in need or enhancing their new community center – instead they spent resources taking...
