TOPFIVE.COM'S LITTLE FIVERS -- PETS

They will now be called "Freedom Poodles."
January 19, 2004
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?
