    My Little Guy flinched like that for the rest of his life. I learned immediately to slow down, to not trigger that fear. He had scars, poor baby. He learned to come for treats and hugs. I finally gave up on car trips, he thought he was going away. I cried every time he went insane in the car.

      @@Madronaxyz He was middle aged starvling when I got him, and lived 9 years with me. I always had kibble in his bowl and he never went hungry for a second. But I hand fed him little bits of meat and he loved raw vegetables maybe because I ate raw vegetables? One day he came up and begged for something already on my fork, and without thinking I offered him the fork! His first request after a couple years. He delicately took it off the fork like to the manor born and wanted to sit next to me and fed his delicacies by fork ever after. It was so funny cute to see him sit up straight and eat with a fork, I fed him on his chair right next to me for years. His body language became royal prince instead of quivering prisoner. Worth it!

    Our dog was like Kuma 9 years ago. Breed to the point of her body not being able to breed anymore. The breeder said we could take her if we paid for the spaying. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. We did have a transition period to get her healthy and happy but so very worthy it.

    I had never adopted a pit bull. We lost our little one & had to get back happiness. We went down to the shelter & saw a pit bull. We did the meet & greet & the family said yes right away, I still said no- I got voted over. We have had this dog for 3 years now, she was 3 when we got her. She gets 2 walks a day, loves everybody, loves to cuddle. Lilo is awesome. I'm so glad I got out voted. She never seems to have a down day, well.. tomorrow is her yearly shots so she could be feeling low tomorrow.
    If you never have had a pit, please give them a try. They are strong, act like a train, but gosh they are as loveable, fun & super friendly as you will ever find.❤

      I had a pitti in the early '80's. His name was Bull due to my husbands birth month. I cannot tell you how swee this dog was. When I would sit in my chair he would come up to me and would lay his head in my lap. Then he would take one of my thumbs in his mouth. When I would try to pull it out he would latch on to it even stronger. Then he would lift his front legs onto my lap, then after a few minutes he would then pull up his back legs onto my lap....all the while 'sucking' on my thumb. Then the the next thing would be him laying across my chest with his head wrapped around my neck! He was so protective of me yet he was the most gentle dog I've ever owned. He was just so wonderful!!!!! I still miss him. My sister now owns a female pitti due to how I expressed how sweet they are. Her dog is just so damn sweet! She will lay against me while I sit on the sofa!!!! She is just beyond sweet!!! I love her!!!

    I adopted a girl like Kuma. She wasn't quite cancer she "disappeared" in her kennel & she'd been there several months. But another volunteer fell in love with her & introduced me to her. I adopted her about a month later & she was the best dog I'd ever had (& i've had a lot in my 60+ yrs). I was going through cancer treatments when I got her & she was definitely my emotional support. We were inseparable. Sadly I lost her about 2 months ago...she was 13. I've been broken hearted. 💔

      I agreed to foster an American Bully 4 years ago to keep him from being euthanized. I have two other dogs so I was hoping he would be adopted. After about six months I realized I couldn’t give him up. He knew I had saved him and he became so attached to me I couldn’t let him down by sending him to another home. I have zero regrets. He is my 56 pound lap dog.

By the time I got to them, they ran off into the woods. I called Animal Control. I live in a very rural area. AC said that they would be there in 30 minutes. Well, 30 minutes was too long. I couldn't retrieve them, they just started to go deeper and deeper into the woods. I don't know if AC ever found them. It broke my heart!

      Please reach out to *rescue organizations in your area* so they can *tag* and *transport them!*
      You can then *foster-to-adopt them* ❤🐕🐈 (the shelter is called *Animal Friends of the Valley,* and is located in southern California!)."

      Me too! I have never been able to stand ppl that use animals to make money by breeding. I guess some are okay and my family mainly bought from breeders. My own father bred German Long Hair pointers. He only did so for close friends. My dad didn’t do it for money. Sometimes you see them end up in shelters. I also can’t stand dog snobs. Cat snobs suck too.

    Here in SC, our shelters are loaded with nice pitties. I have 4 adopted dogs, and I couldn’t take a pit whenI got my last one, because many home insurers (including mine) won’t insure homes with pits. I have a 90 lb. Red Retriever/Hound mix and I had to prove (with vet receipts) that he wasn’t a pit when the agent thought he looked like one.

    Hello from Ontario, Canada! I just love the way all the shelter dogs seem to trust you. You truly have the gift. I just lost my beloved sister, on May 10th of this year, VERY unexpectedly. I have been lost and lonely without her. She was what I called, "The Dog Whisperer". All dogs seemed to love her, and she loved them. She could encounter the most unsocialized dog, and immediately have them sitting and waging their tails. I don't think she ever encountered a dog that didn't love her. God Bless you, for the work you and your wife do.
