Recently he posted a series of articles on Pit Bulls which I recommend to all. He graciously acquiesced to let me use some “antique” pix of Pit Bulls as seen through the lens of the camera in the early 1900s. That was a time when Pit Bulls where considered not only America ’s dogs, but also America ’s “nanny dogs.”
As he states so eloquently, “America ’s Nanny Dog is the victim of a smear campaign that has turned common sense upside-down and robbed us of our historical memory. The dogs that we trusted with our children’s lives are now deemed too vicious to live among us. The dogs that in two World Wars were the symbol of the United States military itself are now ordered off its bases. The Pit Bulls haven’t changed at all. Only the owners have.”
I am posting here some of the pictures he has on his blogs and some which I have found on the Internet over the years. I find them all delightful. I hope the readers of this blog will, too.
Here are the links to Yonas’ blogs about Pit Bulls

ReplyDeleteLove Love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteCan I share these on my website?
ReplyDeleteI culled the pictures from all over the Web, so they are not mine. They are the World's as long as nobody objects and claims copyright. If anybody does, I will remove the "offending" picture. So, please, feel free to use the pictures as you see fit, with the previous caveat in mind.
