staffy expectations vs staffy reality (by someone who has an absolute sweetheart of an american staffy <3)

[image id]: A drawing made in MS Paint of two depictions of a messily drawn American Staffy that has been stylised to look buff and muscular with a lot of sharp lines and edges. The first depiction is baring sharp, drooling teeth and has an angry expression with red eyes. It has splatters of blood on its teeth, chest, flank and legs, and its tail is pointing downward to indicate stress and aggression. Around this staffy are several bits of text that reflect common misconceptions about staffies. "fucking RIPPED", "will eat a toddler", "MENACE to society", "killer", "always aggressive" and finally, "EVIL", which is underlined with an arrow pointing to the dog.

The second depiction is the exact same dog as the one on the left, expect it is missing blood, bares a gentle goofy smile with its tongue pointing out and a much calmer expression in its eyes, which are no longer red. Its tail is also wagging in excitement. It has a single big of text above it with an arrow that says "BIG stinky" with "(and fucking ripped)" underneath it in smaller, bracketed text.

dogs dog staffy staffordshire bull terrier american staffy this also applies to pitbulls idk why staffies are always the ones who are depicted as aggressive and horrible when literally any dog can be just as aggressive if not even more aggressive like the only reason you'll see an aggressive dog is because of poor training or abuse i don't think staffies deserve this poor reputation considering how wonderful they can be if you treat them right that goes for any animal that has misconceptions of ''aggression'' piled on them ''you shouldn't keep a small child unattended around a pitbull/staffy!'' you shouldn't keep a child unattended around ANY animal why are staffies always the exception. they are beautiful sweet little guys ok ''little'' might not be the most accurate way to describe them but you get what i mean they're literally just the loveliest stinkiest guys ever my staffy is the sweetest little thing in the world he does not growl and he does not bite. he will instead lick you and get the zoomies and demand tummy rubs he always gets so excited when he sees other dogs but if one barks at him even a little then he will immediately get shy and back away the only time he barks is when people are crossing the street but like. most dogs do that. and he howls at the ice cream truck <3 he's terrified of thunderstorms. like he gets so scared and needs someone nearby at all times people would probably look at him like ''omg that's such a dangerous breed'' but if he hears even a little bit of thunder he starts shaking like does that say ''dangerous and will murder people'' to you. no the worst my dog will do to you is like. accidentally scratch you or something. that's literally it. oh yeah and fun fact: my dog has one eye! he had to get it removed because the lens fell out of place and it started getting really nasty and was hurting him a lot he's lost a bit of depth perception and bumps into stuff sometimes but he's much happier now and has a cool scar on his face- -where his eye was :) having a dog with one beautiful eye is better than one who is always in pain anyway yeah staffies do not deserve this slander. they are wonderful dogs and i will defend them to ends of the earth
