Pet owner: Brandon Aranco Melgar

Pet name: Babe Marley

Pet breed: ‘Sharpull terrier’

“I BOUGHT her last May from a friend who is a dog breeder because I really love big breed dogs and I was captivated by her beauty when I saw her on Facebook. She’s four months old and will be turning five on the 24th. She bites everything—toys, the door, the floor, the wall—even the owner! She’s very clingy because pitbulls are a very loving type of breed. Although her bites are only playful, they tend to hurt sometimes. I’ve been training her and she challenges me often but this is only because of her breed; shar-peis are independent and pitbulls are stubborn but they can always be trained. She only behaves once I start ignoring her or if I give her treats. When she sees me getting her treats, she behaves even if I haven’t given them to her yet and she sits even if I haven’t told her to sit.
