      ​@@dc4825​Pitbulls can be aggressive because people made them that way intentionally. They have been breeded, raised, and trained to be aggressive dogs. They are not born killers. And what about this "guaranteed safety"? Are you aware that safety can't be 100 percent guaranteed around any dog? This isn't about pitbulls. And all dogs deserve a place in society. Stop demonizing dogs when the issue stems from us.

      Especially when dogs are young, they age rapidly compared to humans. A one-year-old dog is similar to a 30-year-old human. A four-year-old dog is similar to a 52-year-old human. Then by seven years old, dog aging slows.2 Jul 2020

    My fiance and I adopted two cats who had both been abused to some level we'll never know about. One of them was overweight, and had such a bad hip she could barely walk. Started putting glucosamine on her food every day, trying to get her to play, we even massaged her like a hip every night before bed. We always said she aged backwards after that time. She looked better ten years after we got her than she did when we originally got her. Started running and playing, etc. Her orangie best friend helped a lot too I think. It took time but it was sooooo worth it.
