"Good Pet, Bad Pet"
"Pit bulls overcrowd Chicago animal shelters"
Purebred dogs cost $500-$1000. Adding in accessories and veterinarian bills makes owning a dog very costly.
"For those looking to own a pet, pit bulls are everywhere. They’re for sale on eBay for up to $1,000 each, at pet stores, in parking lots."
Dogs may be dangerous and need to be properly trained. They are also very expensive.
"Some owners have to give up the dogs after they bite someone. In other cases, owners say they lost their home or lost a job and can’t afford them. Pit bulls are not allowed in many apartments."
