These Pitbulls Are ‘Too Aggressive’ And Scheduled To Die But One Man Spots The Lie

It’s true that shelters won’t let people adopt animals they deem “dangerous.”

This is for the general good of the public, after all, even if it means certain unfortunate dogs must be euthanized.

However, sometimes shelters are a little too quick to slap the “aggressive” label on dogs, though they claim they’re erring on the side of safety.

It’s also true that pit bulls have a reputation in the canine community; they’re typically seen as aggressive breeds, anyway, which is what makes them excellent protection dogs.

But again, we all might be too fast to apply a label without really looking…

Two pitbulls at a shelter suffered from the “aggressive” label in question and were scheduled to be euthanized.

Worse still, one was said to be “dog aggressive,” which means it couldn’t be around other dogs at all. This was a deadly combination of labels.

But one man just didn’t agree with the assessment.

Alex Knappenberger saw both pit bulls and spent some time with them, and then he realized the “aggressive” labels were simply flat-out wrong!

The “dog aggressive” one was actually great with other dogs and both aren’t a problem at all. Alex’s experience with pit bulls obviously helped.

See, he has a growing family of pit bulls; his first ones were named Bruce, Dexter and Lucy, and now he has two new members of the family.

Yes, pit bulls get a bad rap for being the breed they are, and shelters are indeed trying to protect people (and of course, they want most dogs to find homes).

But sometimes, it takes the vision and experience of a kind-hearted individual like Alex to break through the labels and save two lives!

Check out the newly adopted pit bulls below, and you tell me if you think they’re anything but beautifully sweet and gentle!
