Transcript

00:00 I'm tired of my dog doing nothing wrong and people just being mean to us.

00:06 I'm literally shaking. I can't believe that woman.

00:09 She was demanding that Pirate and I leave the dog park because he's a pit bull.

00:14 I really hope it changes.

00:16 He is so goofy and good-natured.

00:23 Who's the sweetest boy?

00:25 I am. Me.

00:27 He's like, "If you want to pet me, feel free."

00:30 I'm not sure.

00:32 Pirate, how do you feel about people being mean to you just because you're a pit bull?

00:39 Does it make you sad?

00:40 Yeah.

00:41 I thought so.

00:43 Thank you, Pirate. Thank you for my kisses.

00:46 Thank you. I love you.

00:48 Well, thank you for cleaning my eye.

00:50 Pirate is so friendly.

00:53 Honestly, I'm just shocked by all the negativity that surrounds pit bulls.

00:57 I wanted to help Pirate show people they were wrong about his breed.

01:03 But actions speak louder than words, so we started training.

01:11 Pirate, do you want to go train?

01:13 Are you excited?

01:16 Do you want to go train?

01:18 I was lucky enough to join a local group that shared our mission.

01:22 Promoting a positive image of pit bulls through training,

01:25 which has honestly just strengthened our bond.

01:29 Good boy.

01:30 Pirate, I think we've got this.

01:31 Are you feeling confident?

01:33 Train your dog to communicate with you, they said.

01:38 He has lots of buzzes.

01:40 He only presses one all the time.

01:43 He passed! He passed!

01:48 Pirate earned his American Canoe Club K9 Good Citizen certificate.

01:52 Crikey, that's a mouthful, but it means that he's a very good boy.

01:57 It is the gold standard for behavior in dogs.

02:00 Pirate loves training and all of the attention that he gets.

02:05 Did you have a fun time training today?

02:08 Did you?

02:09 Look at that smile. I'm going to take that as a yes.

02:13 Yeah.

02:14 So we decided to take it one step further.

02:17 We entered the world of dog sports.

02:21 I knew Pirate would have fun doing it.

02:23 Pit bulls are so smart and athletic,

02:26 and we really feel like a team when we're out there together.

02:30 We have a really big day tomorrow.

02:36 We're going to be competing against champion lineage dogs

02:40 and pedigree dogs, all for Team Pit Bull.

02:43 We're at our first ever competition.

02:47 We're going out there.

02:48 Team Pirate, we're going to show people how awesome pit bulls really are, right?

02:52 He's quietly confident.

02:54 Look how many ribbons Pirate won at his first ever agility trial.

03:03 Pirate has triumphed at every event we've entered.

03:08 Winning is fun, but I'm really proud that he's helping to change stereotypes for all pities.

03:15 Pirate's just finished his first two runs, and people here have started being so nice to us.

03:21 It's like I can see their attitudes towards pit bulls changing.

03:26 I've noticed people's unease when Pirate and I first arrive at an event,

03:29 but after they see him compete, they shower him with praise and affection.

03:34 Good boy.

03:36 Such a good job.

03:38 Such a good job.

03:39 Good job.

03:40 Good boy.

03:42 Even the judges were blown away by his accomplishments,

03:45 and Pirate really does love making people happy.

03:48 It's a beautiful thing to see, and it encourages us to keep going.

03:51 The nicest part about sharing Pirate's life online

03:55 is hearing from all the people who now see pities in a new light.

04:02 I love that my pit bull has touched so many hearts,

04:09 but he's also just my cuddly, lovable goof.
