Love all of the positive pittie comments!And thanks to RW for posting this article!To the commenter who posted around the picture of the pit bull.Yes, Emerson is a pit-mix; she's a wonderful, gentle, timid lady who is bemused as to why she was dumped in a shelter by a house she trusted.I have personally run her numerous times and she is an angel. 80-90% of the dogs we play with at the shelter are pit mixes.
