Pit bull facts by Nat geo

http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/advisor/giving-pit-bulls-second-chance-infographic-233514251.html

National Geographic has come up with facts on Pit bulls and their campaign I hope will clear the common misconceptions about these gentle and friendly dogs. Makes for a good read. They actually rank better than Collies, German Sheperds and Beagles in the temperament tests, all of which are loved family dogs!

Lets save these beautiful creatures from being killed in shelters everyday for wrong reasons.
