I am absolutely the biggest dog lover I know, and I am sick to death of the local humane society handing out badly bred pitbulls to unqualified owners like Oprah handing out cars. It's incredibly irresponsible.

I do agree with this point. It's horse shit that they label them lab mixes, boxer mixes, bulldog mixes, etc in an effort to get them adopted. They require more work than your typical dog owner is willing to put in. Hell, some people don't even walk their dogs (any breed) or throw a ball for them.. Basic dog ownership type shit. For an English mastiff that may be fine, but try that with a high energy dog and see what happens.. destruction, anxiety, and sadly, aggression. That's any dog
