Pit Bulls have inherited a bad reputation thanks to hoomans who have mishandled them and made them into mythical monsters. And today we are going mythbusting.

That's right, as any pittie lover will tell you, these dogs to not deserve the menacing and mean reuptiation they have. Sure, there are those individuals who have been so riled up and mistreated that they are mad at the world, just as any being of any species would be.

But for the most part these doggos are the darlings of the canine kingdom. Big, cuddly cuties who want nothing more than to be loved and to love their pawrents. Cuddles are not a request but a necessity, their smooth bellies especially need the scratches and pets and kisses are just a part of everyday life. So today we wanted to take a moment to show you just how sweet and unlike their reputation they can be with this collection of cuddly pit bulls. We hope you enjoy and get to know a little more about the true nature of these Velvet Hippos.
