There’s so much RIGHT about this pitbull story



Coming on the heels of Pitbull Awareness Day, I couldn’t help but share this really amazing story. I say amazing because there is so much that is RIGHT about this story.

First, when the couple’s son brought home a pitbull, the mother (who was skeptical of having a pitbull in the home) didn’t make him get rid of Titan right away. Instead, she fell in love with him.

Second, Titan later saves this woman’s life.

Third, the sheriff recognizing that there are so few good stories about pitbulls, awarded Titan with a medal.

You just can’t beat that can you?

Sorry I couldn’t embed the video. (There appears to be something wrong with the station’s code.) But, here’s the link to the news story. It’s a good one to watch.

    I can’t get enough of the classic “dog rescues human” stories. I especially love them when they help celebrate dogs that usually receive only negative press. Let’s see if we can’t help spread the positive word!

    Pit Bulls are so protective of the ones they love. Great story.

    Great find, Mel. And I love that the sheriff’s department thought it was important to recognize this dog as well. I’ll pass it on.

      Thanks Pamela. Me too. I just loved that he wanted to recognize a good deed done by a pitbull because they are so maligned.

    A GOOD pit bull story in the news?! That is fantastic! That almost never happens and when it does, it doesn’t get attention. Let’s woof it from the rooftops!

    What an awesome story! Wish the media would publicize more of them that are out there, instead of just the bad ones.

    That is what a true pitbull looks like or should I say an AmStaff. Most of what you see are those completely deformed steroid dogs that give the breed such a bad name. I am 43 years old and have had pitbulls since I was a young girl. Those steroid breeders need to be stopped.
