A recent story showcasing the stigma that follows and tarnishes the pit bull breed has gone viral. A pit bull puppy wasn't allowed to hang out with a bunch of other puppies at a chain pet store. Once the twitter-verse got word of this doggy drama, the company started receiving negative tweets and the puppy received praise.

These stories always break my heart because I help take care of one of the cutest pitbull puppies in the world. Well, at least I think that. Her name is Baby and she is about six months. She is full of energy and just bit through the cable cord, but I love her unconditionally.

If you haven't heard, that stigma basically has people stuck on the idea that pit bulls are the most aggressive dog breed. Which is actually wrong, according to science.

The most aggressive dog breed, based off of the temperament test, is the Chihuahua.
