Can you guess which breed of dog has been beloved by presidents, is an early television star’s favorite, and used to be known as “the nanny dog”? The Pit Bull Terrier! There was even a time when the Pit Bull was considered the unofficial dog of the United States.

Let’s talk about why Pit Bulls deserve a second chance and why they might be the perfect dog for your family.
