A Pit Bull's Prayer

[Marty]

Spirit in the sky, who watches over all animals:

It is my prayer and my request that you grant greater understanding, and acceptance to humans; those who love us, and those who hate us.

That they will know how loyal we are, how brave we are, and how loving we are. Help them to accept us as a breed in whole, and not let the few tragedies shine brighter than the many great traits that we have.

And those who would kill me, let them know, I forgive them even though I don't understand their hatred. And those who would beat me, let them know I still love them, even though it is not the honorable way.

Thank you for all the strong traits that you have given to me and my breed. Help those to know that I stand for courage, strength, loyalty, and bravery. And as my master already knows, let those who would come against my family know that I would surely die defending them.

And just one thing that I would ask: Let my master know, that if you should call me away, that I will wait patiently at those pearly gates until the one who chose me comes home.

Amen

OH boy Marty you have me in tears. It so sad that people can be so stupid and discriminate against an animal. I have two Cockers and I will tell you I had roommate who hate a pitbull . I never worried about him bitting someone with my two guys I always watch. My Nicky who is the swet one. Nipped his groomer. So its not the breed, my Nicky had a tough time and I just got him, he was in my brothers house with lots of kids and stuff. I never blame an dog, I always want to know who did what to this animal. I guess thats what I believe. ANyway great prayer!

Awww....I am sure I'm not alone in that my pit (mix) is an ambassador for the breed. We moved to a VERY small town ( 1 square mile), and everyone was afraid of him. No more, everyone knows his name!

The 4th of July parade comes down our street, I "dressed" Otto and put a long leash on him, sat in a chair on the sidewalk to watch, and Otto went out to meet and greet.

How sad that people say "I never would have thought he was a pitbull...he is so gentle and friendly!" We know that is TYPICAl of the breed, not unusual!!
