The Top Five Pit Bull Rescue Videos of 2017

Pit Bulls are a breed of dog that was created by breeding two separate breeds together, the Bulldog and a terrier. The combination was in an effort to create a dog that had the gameness and the agility of the terrier, yet had the strength of a bulldog. Years ago, the UK used these dogs in blood sports, such as bull or bear-baiting. It became illegal to participate in these sports and it was outlawed, however, many of those involved in these sports turned to baiting the dogs against each other and the act of dog fighting took hold. In America, this breed of dog began to take hold and people began to use the dogs as fighting dogs here, as well. They were often used as gambling chips to earn money in dog fights, as well as the dog fights was said to have been used to determine the strength and quality of stock. Pit bulls have been used on both sides of the law. For the law enforcement, they are used as a part of the police force in the K-9 unit as attack dogs, among other purposes.
