Humans often categorize animals based on preconceived notions, labeling some as “good” and others as “bad.” This oversimplification leads to stereotypes and misinformation, affecting both humans and animals. Dogs, in particular, suffer from these misconceptions, with certain breeds being unfairly judged based on false beliefs.
Pit bulls are a prime example of a breed that faces undue prejudice. Dogster aptly notes: “No other dog has had so much media coverage in the last 15 years as the Pit Bull. It’s tough not to be emotional one way or the other about these canines, especially if you’ve owned one or two or three, or if you or a loved one has been involved in a bad incident involving a Pit Bull.” Dogster compiled a list titled “10 Misconceptions about Pitbulls,” revealing that many reported “incidents” do not involve pit bull breeds at all.
One heartwarming story challenges the aggressive pit bull stereotype. Meet Hades, a pit bull whose actions demonstrate that every breed deserves love and proper handling.
Hades lives in Mexico with his owner, Juan Jose P. Flores. A stray cat frequently visited their home, and Flores, with his kind heart, would leave food and water for her. Unbeknownst to Flores, his compassionate behavior was being observed by Hades.
One day, Flores heard a commotion near the back door where Hades usually stayed. Curious, he went to check and found Hades in a state of urgency. Flores told The Dodo: “He was desperate and making a lot of noise.”
Upon investigating, Flores discovered that Hades had generously offered his doghouse to the stray cat. What Flores learned next was even more astonishing—the stray cat was pregnant!
“He dragged a blanket over to the entrance of his house and settled outside the door,” Flores said. “She felt protected by him.” As the cat gave birth to two kittens, Hades remained vigilant, watching over and protecting her.

A horrific case of animal cruelty and domestic violence unfolded last year in Fargo, North Dakota. The details are disturbing and tragic. The abuser was sentenced to prison, but we must ensure he never terrorizes another person or animal again.
This touching story of Hades and the stray cat illustrates that dogs, regardless of breed, can display immense compassion and love. It’s a reminder that it’s the inner qualities of a being that truly matter, not the external appearance.
