Pit Bull Attacked in Yard

July 30, 2012 by z3admin Leave a Comment

A reminder to make sure to keep your dogs safe.

From Fox News in Minneapolis/St. Paul:

…Based on his (Cesar’s) injuries, investigators say they don’t believe the 4-year-old dog was hit by a car — but the message written across his fur shows at least some of the dog’s wounds were completely intentional.

 

Robert Cole said he adopted Cesar when the pit bull was a 14-week-oldp pup. The companionship the two enjoy was nearly cut short Wednesday, when Cole followed a trail of bloody paw prints in the garage to find Cesar curled up in the corner in a pool of blood.

 

“Literally a breath or two from dying,” Cole recalled. “They gave him something that elevated his heart rate because it would have stopped.”

 

Cole told FOX 9 News that Cesar had been in his backyard with his other dogs, but he later found the gate had suspiciously been swing in.

 

“If the dogs would have pushed through this way, the fence would be this way,” he explained.”

 

After noticing the gate had been opened, Cole went looking for Cesar. When he found him, he saw the dog’s leg had been slashed open.

 

“The fur was gone — a lot of muscle missing. It was down to the bone,” he said. “It looked like somebody sliced. That’s what it looked like to me.”

 

At one point on Wednesday, veterinarians did not expect Cesar would live. Now that he is expected to recover, all attention has been focused on figuring out who did it.

 

Investigators say they’re pretty sure it was someone with a beef because a message was scrawled on the dog’s back, telling Cole to “back off.”

 

Cole, who makes a living as a dog trainer who specializes in calming aggressive dogs, said attacking Cesar affects his livelihood. Since his work frequently puts him in contact with Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, they paid his vet bill — and they have established a fund to help cover those costs. Anyone wishing to donate can make a contribution online.

 

No arrests have been made so far, but officers say they believe they have a solid animal cruelty case.

Pit Bull Owners Show Their Support

February 20, 2012 by z3admin Leave a Comment

This amazing video was put together by the Humane Society for Hamilton County in celebration of their upcoming pit bull education month festivities – including the “Parade-a-Bull“.

Kudos to the proud pit bull owners from all walks of life showing their support for the breed they love including a police officer, fire chief, pediatrician, pastor, humane society director and sportscaster.

 

 

A few favorite quotes from the video:

“A combination of myths, biased media reporting, exploitation of these dogs by criminals and irreponsible pet owners, has created an inaccurate stereotype of the breed and also the people who own and love them.”

“The American Pit Bull Terrier, a dog that has played an important role in american culture and history for over 200 years before falling victim to those who would use their strength and loyalty against them.”

Pit Bulls Helping the Blind

December 14, 2010 by z3admin 1 Comment

This video is unbelievably touching – and a great piece of positive pit bull press! Pit bulls lend a helping paw to blind children, showing their true colors as lovable, loyal, intelligent and faithful companion animals.

The real story, however, is the fact that NBC decided to do a positive pit bull piece. Kudos to them for taking the road less traveled, despite Jillian Rappaport’s insistence on bringing the breed’s “bad rap” up more than once, and almost ending the segment with this suggestive line, “This is definitely an aggressive… not aggressive, but dominant, breed…”.

Walter – A True Breed Ambassador

August 4, 2010 by z3admin Leave a Comment

Walter the Pit Bull was left on the streets to die. See how this tiny puppy once affected with mange has blossomed into a happy, healthy and well adjusted adolescent.

Kudos to the Today Show and NBC for airing this Pit Bull positive article! We need more clips like this to be aired in the mainstream media to help change people’s perceptions about these wonderful dogs. MSNBC also featured a story of pit bull service/therapy dogs assisting blind children. The clip has since been removed from their website (not sure why), but you can read my thoughts on it here – Pit Bulls Helping the Blind [Read more…]
