They researched of my breed

And asked professionals advice

After six weeks in a shelter

I wasn’t sure I’d make it out

But the workers love me so much

Said I was safe beyond a doubt

So off I go to my new home

In a fancy neighborhood

My family is so proud of me

They know I always will be good

I love all creatures big and small

They’re all welcome in my space

But it’s children I love most of all

I just lick them in the face

So why are people staring

As I walk on down the street

They point and gasp and whisper

As I try to go and greet

They say that I’m a pitt bull

And that I’m not welcome there

How could they know me inside

When all they see’s my shape and hair

Thank goodness for my family

I pray they keep me safe from harm

From all others who would hurt me

‘Cause they don’t know of my charm

I hope that they will keep me locked

Within their yard and home

Because strangers just might hurt me

If I’m left outside to roam
