Thank you to the Hope For Paws team for saving Bronx from a miserable existence. He was a mess, under weight, major ear and skin infections, and he had to learn that he didn’t have to eat & sleep exactly where he peed and pooped. He’s now house trained, healthy (a tad chunky😂) and so happy!!! ❤

He was not underweight, of this pictures. But his living conditions were horrible anyway. How some people treat animals, unbelievable. So glad he has a lovely Homepage now. But don't overfeed him, otherwise he won't grow old. Unfortunately it is not a healthy breed and fat Dogs get sick quickly. Also the joints. But hes such a loveley sweetie and so dear. ❤

So sad that breed-specific prejudice can lead to such wild misjudgements and sad treatment! 😭 I've never seen such a sweet and gentle dog... To be fair, I guess perhaps if she was an older person, maybe she was worried about not being able to safely walk him or successfully restrain him if he got over-enthusiastic anout something, due to his tanky build...? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well the poor woman was elderly and she was afraid of the dog but still kept the dog when the owner went out of town. She didn't know the owner would never come back. She probably was trying to keep the dog out of the clutches of fight dog people or some other truly grim fate but the situation was terrible, of course.

That's so Cruel and sad, to make him live in a cage 24/7. She's lying about being scared of him. 😠 He's so beautiful, placid and friendly. Thanks to Hope for Paws He's free and safe. 💕🐾🐾

He is such a good boy!! He lets u give him a bath,he is such a gentle soul,u can tell. Thank u so much for saving this adorable pittie,he truly deserved to have lots of love,hugs,and the feel of a human touch!! I'm so happy for him!!

The look in his eyes during bathtime, that sense of him just desperately needing human touch again, that reached way down and broke my little heart. I'm so, so happy that you all rescued him!

I love how all the dogs after being rescued and reaching the Vet go from either anxious or happy to total and utter calmness once they're in the cleaning tub with the warm water and the gentle scrubbing.

What a handsome and loving land hippo. He's so happy to be out of that miserable life. Good luck Bronx hope you find your forever family soon.

He's such a gentle giant and a cute boy!!!I don't understand people and why they just don't give them away to places like you that can take care of them. He didn't deserve to be locked in a cage!!😢❤ Tell him he's safe now and free. Give him a big kiss 💋 for me and a hug!!

So sad to see that beautiful being in such a place. Still, I'm grateful the elderly woman kept him alive, and fed him. So grateful to the neighbor that saw him and advocated on his behalf. So much love for the neighbor and for the doggie. And sending healing vibes to all the rest involved: the elderly woman, the human who left the dog with her. Thank you Hope for Paws team, and the ones who will foster him, for going there to take Bronx to a whole new life.

Yes, you could see the relief on his face, especially when she was cleaning his forehead with the brush. You could tell he was really enjoying his Spa moment. This is my favorite part of these Hope For Paws videos. There is something very soothing and comforting about watching them wash off all that dirt, misery and hardship as their old life washes down the drain with all the dirt and they are about to embark on a new life!

What a joyful handsome boy

I'm so upset to see that there still seem to be people cutting off dogs' ears or tails. How arrogant can humans be to do this to other creatures? I'm glad he can live a better life now.

Telling stories that are not true is not going to help the dog. In the 19th century they were fighting dogs, and never were referred to as a "nanny dog" until a New York Times article in 1971. It was never a common name until people started using it to deny their history. The simple fact is that they are more dangerous than your average dog bred to be sociable. To say that this dog is not essential bred to be deformed also is not helping the dog. Genetics are a thing, and dogs can be bred to have dangerous tendencies, and you need to be honest about that.

Probably his first bath ever. What a sweetie considering that he was in that cage 24/7
