While I applaud a calm video production with a preface about the breed, I am cringing and wondering "Do we really need 'Go see if he's up there' or 'Go Get Him'?
I was recently called out by someone I deeply respect, for a comment I've been using for years (not repeated, as I choose not to turn my own blog site into a debate). It has given me much to chew on in the way I speak of the pitbull type dog, in today's society....
It didn't change the way I see my comment, but it was brought to my attention, that not everyone speaks nor understands exactly as I might....
...choosing our words carefully is important.

This kid will make money as a 'trainer.' People are lining up--Good for him.
Imagine the slight difference, if the dogs are told to 'Search' or 'Find out.'
Still impressive.
Still wonderful to see dogs with a job.
No longer adhering to stereo-types, by accident, and to the general public.
