Why can't they all be like this?

I found this in the Christian Science Magazine....


Regarding the March 2 piece "Pit bulls can't shake bad rap": I was pleased to read the comments of those defending this complex canine, but the story left out the "bad" pit's potential for change.
I learned this the hard way when I was attacked on my roller skates by two menacing pit bulls. It was the scariest event of my life as I desperately fought off a sustained attack, finally to be rescued by a female passerby who, unlike all the men hiding in their cars, bravely risked her life for mine.

Counter to common sense, I decided to give these two another chance. One was killed before I could intervene, but the other I sprang from the pound with a plan for rehab.

It was all kisses and wags and we became fast friends. Soon this demon dog was pulling me all over town on the same skates I'd been attacked on! It was this experience that has convinced me that it's never too late to rehabilitate. These amazing, loyal, loving dogs can and will come back from the brink and they deserve a break.
