Quick Smiles:
- Adorable pit bull Ace charms millions with his friendly behavior.
- Clip debunks myths about pit bulls being inherently dangerous.
- Viewers delight in Ace’s playful plea for attention from a stranger.
Pit bulls often face unfair stereotypes, but one owner is on a mission to change that perception by showcasing her dog’s lovable nature on TikTok.
The video, which has garnered an impressive 2.2 million views, features Ace the pit bull wagging his tail and seeking attention from a stranger.
The modern pit bull has a complex history. Originally bred from English bull-baiting dogs to bite and hold large animals, they were later crossed with terriers for dog fighting when animal baiting was banned in the 1800s.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), while some pit bulls were bred for fighting, this does not make them inherently aggressive or unpredictable.
Several myths about the breed have been debunked, shedding light on common misconceptions:
* While raising a pit bull puppy has its perks, it doesn’t ensure easy training due to genetic tendencies. Adult pit bulls often have more predictable behaviors, as noted by the American Pit Bull Foundation (APBF).
* Despite common beliefs, pit bulls have been cherished family pets known for their gentleness, affection, and loyalty. Historically, they were used for herding livestock and protecting families, according to the ASPCA and the Love-A-Bull charity.
* Claims about pit bulls having the strongest bite lack scientific backing. Dr. Lehr Brisbin of the University of Georgia states that there is no evidence comparing bite strength across dog breeds, as reported by the APBF.
* Studies from the American Temperament Test Society reveal that pit bulls have a passing rate of 82 percent or better in temperament tests, surpassing the general dog population’s 77 percent. These tests evaluate dogs in unexpected situations, including interactions with strangers.
