Pawsome Photos Of Pit Bulls In Honor Of Pit Bull Awareness Month

October is Pit Bull Awareness Month, and October 26th is Pit Bull Awareness Day. According to dogtime.com, "It's a month to celebrate Pit Bull type dogs, bust myths about these breeds, and promote adoption of Pit Bulls. Pit Bulls are often left at shelters and looked over by adopters because of harmful stereotypes. These dogs are loving and affectionate, and they deserve forever homes. Help spread the word!"

Here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we love to spread the word, and also spread pictures of awwdorable doggos as far as the eye can see. That's why we've compiled this pawmazing list of pawsome Pit Bull photos and even a couple of fun facts in honor of Pit Bull Awareness Month! We hope you enjoy, and also learn something new about this dog breed:

"Historically, Pit Bulls were considered to be so trustworthy with children that they were known as nursemaids or nanny dogs. Both the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier score exceptionally well on the test run by the American Temperament Test Society, beating out Miniature Schnauzers and many other terrier breeds."

"Due to their athletic builds, Pit Bulls are some of the best fence-climbers in the dog world. Something to keep in mind if you need to confine one of these notorious escape artists. Despite their reputation, Pit Bulls aren't considered great guard dogs by those in the know. They're too trusting of humans, and may greet an intruder as a new friend." (source)
