Do you have any pit bull dogs?
I've always wanted one. I heard that pit bull is the common name for that type of dog.
Yeah, it is. Pit bulls seem to be pretty common, in the shelter nearby anyway.
I know they get a bad reputation for being mean, which is why they are commonly used in underground dog fighting. 
Yeah, and they're known to be aggressive too. It's sad since they're pretty sweet dogs.
I know. Michael Vick, one of my favorite Atlanta Falcons players was in a huge dog fighting scandal. Do you remember that?
No I don't, but wow that does sound pretty intense!
Yeah, apparently they found over seventy dogs were found on his property. They were mostly pit bull terriers. Poor dogs.
Wow, seventy dogs is a lot... It's sad they were all used for fighting.
I can't believe that dog fighting has been in the U.S. since the early 19th century, and it's still going on!
