I'm an Animal Cops addict (on Animal Planet). I know a lot of time they portray pits badly, but I just can't help but watch. I'm watching right now, and the first story was an off-leash pittie that attacked and killed a yorkie. Not a good start. But the 2nd story is a 6 month old pit puppy that was found with a nylon collar embedded in his neck. He's just gorgeous, and the woman doing his temperament eval was talking about how pits have bad raps, and even though this puppy was in horrible pain he still wagged his tail at human contact. She's actually contemplating adopting him.
It just breaks my heart when I see stories like that - this pup is the same age as Inara, but look at the horrible life he's already had. What would have happened to Inara if I hadn't rescued her? It kills me to think how she could have ended up in an abusive home. *sigh* Doesn't it hurt sometimes how much you love them?
