Tank (grey male) and his sister Tinkerbell (brown brindle) are Pit Bulls. Pits had received a bad reputation which is decidedly undeserved. I "rescued" these two from Friends of Homeless Animals. They had been surrendered and the hope was that they could stay together. They had not been trained — they are now. They are the sweetest animals and are never more than about two feet away from one another. They are great cuddlers and make sure that I don't stay on my computer too late in the evenings. They come into my office and nudge me until I head to bed. Pits were know as the "Nanny Dogs." Betty Boop's dog was a Pit as was the dog in "Spanky and our Gang." I considered myself lucky to have these two lovers in my home. — Molly Allen, Reston
