A Pit Bull’s Prayer
I found this on a blog called Everyone Deserves a Special Friend and had to share it with you all. This should be posted in every shelter, pound, city council building, police station, dog park, pet store, pet rescue, library, and utility pole across the country. Sure puts BSL in its place…
A Pit Bull’s Prayer
Spirit in the sky, who watches over all animals: it is my prayer and my request that you grant greater understanding, and acceptance to humans; those who love us, and those who hate us.
That they will know how loyal we are, how brave we are, and how loving we are. Help them to accept us as a breed in whole and not let the few tragedies shine brighter then the many great traits that we have.
And those who would kill me, let them know, I forgive them even though I don’t understand their hatred. And those who would beat me, let them know I still love them, even though it is not the honorable way (to treat me).
Thank you for all the strong traits that you have given to me and my breed. Help those to know that I stand for courage, strength, loyalty, and bravery, and as my master already knows, let those who would come against my family know that I would surely die defending them.
And just one thing that I would ask: let my master know, that if you should call me away, that I will wait patiently at those pearly gates until the one who chose me comes home.
Amen.

Tank woo fur sharing this!
Amen.
Okay, seriously teared up a little bit here. We have so many pits and pit mixes at my shelter and so many people have the wrong idea about them. I’m hopeful that we can turn the breed’s negative image around, they’re such amazing dogs.
That made me cry. So sad.
That made us have the leaky eyes.
Amen amen amen.
Wow, this is awesome. Totally forwarding this. It even made me tear up as my city enforces BSL and I know many APBT owners…
people who are prejudice against my breed should google “hero Pit Bull” woof! and lost of big sloppy pit bull kisses.
thank you,
clyde the pit bull
I am going to have to use this on my site. This made me cry.
Thank you for this find!
I’m with Denis the Vizsla: Amen. This made me teary too.
This is a wonderful prayer and should be shared with each and everyone who ownes, sells, or just love that breed. It touched me in the most overcoming way and I hope that each and everyone who reads this feel the same. If we all pray for this breed then everything that happens in their situation will be already taken care of. Prayer changes things…….love all of you..peace…..
Thanks for sharing this the mayor of Ocean Springs has recently called for a ban on pit bulls. I hope you don’t mind, I plan to copy the poem and send it in to our local paper.
as i read this poem i hugged our pit-bull as we have had him since he was a small pup would not give him up for anything thank you.
Pit Bulls Don’t Cry
I see the children in the lane
They look like friends, we’ll have a game
They’ve got a stick, oh boy, what fun
They’ll throw it for me and I’ll run
But someone stops me,
I wonder why their mother screams?
Don’t go near those horrid dogs, come here, come close
They’re dangerous – I’ll tell you why
They bite children and they die!
All I can do is watch and sigh
Cause now I know that Pit Bulls don’t cry
Mom cuddles me up and says
“My pet, We love you dearly so don’t you fret”
But I love everyone out there
Why can’t they love me? I do care
I wish they weren’t made to pass me by
I’m a Pit Bull, I don’t cry
I sit behind my padlocked gate
From early morn til quite late
When I go out it’s on a lead
Is mine the only heart to bleed?
I’m held in check as the world goes by
I wish the Pit Bull heart could cry
There are some dogs, and also men
Who cannot tell a foe from a friend
So all of us must bear the blame
Expected to live a life of shame
Condemned, alas and we know not why
All we know is we will not cry!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful poem.
I’m afraid that the Pit bull requires a exclusive sort of owner…these pet dogs, no matter how ‘adoring’ still have teeth, are nevertheless animals with no moral concepts and if they DO bite, won’t let go. As in all animals…some tend to be much more suseptable to instinctual behavior and time and time once again, this breed tends to do just that.
That poem is awesome. NOBODY should have any say as to what breed should be banned. I have rescued close to 100 Pits and Pit mixes in my life and will continue to do so.
What a joy to read such input! keep up the movement for their sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!kila and ozone…..we love you and will never 4get you…….spot is in good hands……tissue please.
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW , MUCH LUV FOR THE BULLIES
I WOULD BE LOST IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT MY PIT!! LOVE YOU BRONX!!! RESCUE THE MISTREATED,TOUCHER THE ABUSER!!! SAVE AS MANY AS WE CAN!!!1
