Celebrity-Owned Pit Bulls
I wanted to mention another lovely celebrity pit bull that I met. The musician and actor Levon Helm (formerly of The Band) has a beautiful chocolate brown pit bull named Muddy, named after Muddy Waters.
About once a month, Mr. Helm opens up his in-home studio, on a wooded lot in Woodstock, NY, to the public for a concert. My husband and I attended one of these concerts last year, and met Muddy in the parking lot, where he was given free rein and was calmly meeting and greeting everyone that arrived. This included several children, who, as children are wont to do, immediately were hugging and fawning all over him. No one appeared to be too bothered by his breed. I must say he was one of the calmest and most mellow dogs I have ever met!
