22 Reasons to Fall in Love With Pit Bulls

Happy National Pit Bull Awareness Day! Seven years ago, one woman dedicated a day to educating the public about Pit Bulls and showing positivity toward the breed and their responsible owners. Eventually October was turned into National Pit Bull Awareness Month, with an ultimate goal of changing the negative image of the dogs commonly referred to as bully breeds. To help the cause, we've rounded up a bunch of adorable reasons why Pit Bulls are awesome!
