With or without being aware of this, people love stereotypes! It helps them in making judgments and decisions more quickly. But stereotypes are not always true, they should be taken with a pinch on salt. Because these stereotypes are not always right, the judgments and decisions one makes using these stereotypes might actually be wrong and unfair. In fact, stereotypes are more false than being true.
All the dogs need love, care, and attention from their owners. But some dog breeds are falsely or negatively stereotyped of being rude, mean and harmful. These stereotypes are not true, they rarely represent that particular dog breed in a correct manner.
Freelancer Laura Palumbo has illustrated some of these stereotypes that come along with specific dog breeds, with her series of minimalist illustrations. “Many people I know say they would like to have a dog, but they exclude Dobermanns, Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and so many other breeds from the start, because there’s still a belief that they are too aggressive,” Palumbo told in an interview. “I think it’s true that every breed has different traits but with correct education, every dog can be suitable with kids. I believe that dogs are what their humans are.”
