                      NOTE FROM THE LIST VET:

      New Yorkers want to rename the pit bull in an attempt to
    improve the dog's frightening image. The proposed new name?
      "New Yorkie," because New Yorkers, like pit bulls, were
    often thought of as hard or mean, but are actually generous
                      and open-hearted people.

      In a culture where makeovers rule, can other breed name
                      changes be far behind?
