pit bulls.
You know better and we know better, but there are people out there who still believe that pit bulls are an inherently violent breed of dog, that a pit bull will eat a baby in a heartbeat given the chance. Well, if that were true, it stands to reason that a hungry pit would wolf down some kittens like popcorn chicken.

Pit bulls too often get a bad rap, but if every person wary of owning a pit were to watch this video of one of them canoodling with a baby duckling, it might change a lot of minds.

Check out this animal video featuring a cat, rabbit, guinea pig and huge (at least in comparison) pit bull named Sharky, all gathered together. Has Christmas come early this year? It's wonderful! Not only should this prove that pit bulls are by no means inherently vicious, but, moreover, that they can be big, sleepy comrades to animals of all kinds: felines, rodents and fluffy bunnies. So the next time you hear a news report about a pit bull attack, just think of Sharky, and let the close-up image of her, asleep, with a rabbit cuddled against her snout, resonate loud and clear.
