Lucky girl

How great it is to hear that a badly injured pit bull, Bitsy, found a home for Thanksgiving. Pit bulls can definitely bounce back quickly from injuries. Whoever plunged a hunting knife into that dog's head belongs with Michael Vick. It's wonderful that Bitsy even survived. I know her new owners must be grateful.
'We have a real soft spot in our hearts for pit bulls,' Chris Rabold said. 'They get such the bad rap. But we would have adopted her even if it was a daschund.'
Speaking of Vick, many of his dogs are getting ready for adoption while he's behind bars on Thanksgiving. Good riddance.
Canine experts say one reason pit bulls are such good fighters is that their desire to please their owners is so strong they will do whatever is asked of them.
Sad but true. At least the head-trauma pit bull and the pit bulls that Michael Vick didn't kill are getting second chances. Maybe this will encourage more people to open their hearts to these sweet dogs who just want to please.

All you hear about pits are how dangerous they are. The media often shows other dogs that have saved a human's life but when it comes to pits they only show the damage they have done or deaths they have caused.

I think it is a good cause that you are blogging about. People need to hear both sides of stories.

It's terrible that they did such an act to that pit. I guess it's just like when people start shooting cats for no reason. Unless they were provoked by say the pit attacking them or someone around them there is no justification for their action and they should be punished.

That is absolutely horrible! I am such a dog lover myself, and it makes me so angry to see people take advantage of the defenseless nature of any animal. I can't believe that this pit bull survived, but I'm sure that the new owners will provide it with the care that it needs and deserves.
