According to her social media, Ms Morey was the loving owner of what appears to be an XL bully.

In one video on TikTok, she is seen dancing with a dog in a kitchen.

The video is covered by a male voice saying: "This is my son and I don't give a f*** if you think he looks aggressive and I don't give a f*** if you don't like the look of him and I surely don't give a f*** whether you think the breed should be banned."

...

Another chilling video appearing to show her as the owner of several dogs is captioned: "But if one of us dies - I hope I die first." The video ends with a caption reading: "Love my family."

The cognitive dissonance these people have is pretty impressive. They have a dog that is famously aggressive, because it's famously aggressive and owning one makes them feel like a big shot / makes them feel safer, and then they say oh he's a big softie. Pick one.

You're definitely creating motivation here. They're gorgeous dogs with beautiful faces, and really good brains, and that's enough for the owners I know.

I get that you think otherwise, and I guess I should re-state that such thinking is totally okay, and I'm not addressing that here. I'm saying that there's rich counter-example to the idea that owners are getting this dog because it's got a bad rep.

Citation needed of course because literally everyone I have ever talked to who owns one of these dogs has justified it by saying that it's a matter of personal defense. So they are getting them as weapons.

"This thing could kill me, or my family, at any time and there'd be nothing I can do to stop it but It'S sO pReTtY 😍"

Yeah. Sounds like cognitive dissonance.

I didn't downvote you, but that's pretty much every woman living with a man.
