Just think about the first impression, of anything or anyone. That would be the image that
fossilizes in our minds about anything. Sometimes it could be changed considering some
reasons. But first impression is one of the most important things in a relationship or some kind of bond. It could be a person, an animal, a thing, etc. Whatever it is, that will be the foundation of the chapter about that bond.
Also, the first impression plays the same role in animals’ lives. Once animals have the
first impression of something they won’t give up on it. They will always be with it. That’s why first impression is more important. When talking about dogs, they are the same, and special. Once a dog has the first impression of someone it won’t let down them ever.But, when talking about dogs some of them look muscular, have deep voices, seem dark, terrifying, etc., the breeds like Pit Bull, Bulley, etc. People think they are tough, and get bad reputations often considering their appearance. Recently, a police officer in the United States had the opportunity to challenge the stereotype that police officers are racist and show just how wrong these assumptions can be. Now we talk about this…
They think it was a vicious dog…
In 2018, the Texarkana, Texas, Police Department had a phone call about informing a
vicious dog. The caller said that there was an unidentified vicious dog was running amok in the area. Officer Travis Frost came to visit the area because that call seemed terrifying. When the Officer arrived there he could see the dog on someone’s lawn. He thought the dog would attack him when it saw him based on the call they had. The officer looked carefully.
But it wasn’t continued like that. It was just a strayed Pit Bull. That’s why people thought
it was vicious from the first impression. When the officer got there that sweet puppy jumped into the officer’s patrol car and snuggled next to him. It seemed they were old friends who met before that. That incident made everyone confused. It was not a vicious one. It was just a sweet puppy that looking for attention from someone. Everyone was happy about the situation.
That story reminds us of a very important and valuable thing. Don’t judge and make
decisions quickly before considering the outer appearance or first impression. What if people hurt that puppy still thinking it was vicious and dangerous Always look beyond outward signs of affection and kindness to recognize their presence in all dog breeds.

Riding with the officer…
Through time, the friendship between Pit and Travis had a bond. They enjoyed their lives
while riding by chatting, taking images, etc. The Pit pup enjoyed the scenery beyond the window while they were riding together. It was just not that vicious. It was a sweet, loyal dog.
But, the officer couldn’t change the perspective of people about dogs like Pit Bulls. He
realized that people often automatically assume that pit bulls are vicious because of their
appearance. That is not fair from any perspective.
But the officer tried his best to change the perspective of people about dogs like Pit Bulls.
He shared this story through the social media platforms like Facebook. He spread the message to the public to inspire people to change their minds about those dogs. He explained that doesn’t matter how careful with an unknown dog, you should be aware of a situation like that. But you shouldn’t assume it is a bad dog. The officer mentioned that clearly and expressed his ideas to people to change their minds.
Pit Bull found his family…
Pitbull could get together with Officer Travis as a family. And also, the pup was a playful
one. Unfortunately, one morning the dog went out of the house and lost. But the search mission was not that difficult. With the help of the animal center in that area and the microchip that was planted on it to update data and collect the information that was needed about the dog found the dog. Pitbull was reunited soon with his family.
What do you think, how playful that dog is?
Officer Travis was an experienced one. So he trained, practiced, and also changed it right.
He proved that if a dog behaves in a good, doesn’t matter the breed… it is a good dog. Animals are turned into vicious because of some bad habits that are done by humans. Animals are hoping for a better life with teaming with happiness. Humans are intelligent animals, so we should understand other animals, and shouldn’t judge them by their appearance.
This story nicely elaborates on the significance of responsible pet ownership. It is crucial
to understand that a dog’s behavior is primarily shaped by its upbringing and training provided by its owner.
