Rescue pittie helps her brother start talking ❤️️
Johnny was introduced to Xena when he was just 8 years old. She was so gentle and intuitive with him, forming a very special bond.
We spoke to his mom about how their friendship helped Johnny open up, talk more, and socialize.

Pit Bulls are the MOST loving dogs, with the biggest hearts! It takes humans to make them mean, or, aggressive.

No, they were not. Please, stop spreading this nonsense. Pitbulls are fighting dogs, that were literally created for violence, hence there are so many attacks from them.

Xena's furry therapy is the best! In 1972 my parents rescued a huge, neglected German Shepherd. One day, she took him to the park and there was a teacher with a group of children on a class trip. Suddenly a boy from the group walked over and nonchalantly pets our German Shepherd, Max. The teacher was shocked and said that autistic boy had never reacted to anyone or anything until that moment. It was the magic of Max who inspired this autistic boy's breakthrough.

A dog's value is immeasurable. For autism, PTSD, the blind, the deaf, those with seizures, those with mobility issues...the list is endless. The dog's do their jobs willingly and with enthusiasm. They love almost unconditionally.

I know, given my Type 1 diabetic mother who, is now “helping” St Peter at the Pearly Gates since 2019. My Dad got himself a hunting buddy, Tank, Yeah Tank should have been renamed Mommy’s Shadow because he refused to leave her side and let Everyone know the moment her blood sugar started to drop.
Animals can often be more interested in and ACCEPTING of us than other people are. Xena has no ulterior motives behind her behavior, just pure love for Jonny.
“A miracle wrapped up in fur” that’s perfect.
Really happy to see that this dog landed with a family that could not be any more appreciative of her. 😃
Every child should grow up with a dog. It's one of the best things ever. The only downside is when they have to leave..

Oh man I totally agree. I'll never forget when I was around 10 my mom's college professor gave us a perfectly trained 3 year old boxer bc the guy's wife didn't like the poor dog. He was the light of my life.
Humans will never heal without the love of an animal. This young boy and pittie is proof of that
As an autistic person, I can confirm that pets, especially dogs, help tremendously
This pittie really helped this autistic boy. As an autistic adult myself: I'm happy to see that she is able to help him. Thank you Xena.
Thank you for taking a chance.❤❤❤

Pitties are some of the most loyal dogs you'll ever come across. It makes them happy to please their owners. On top of that, that dog would give her life to protect your son. God forbid that is ever necessary. People who haven't owned a pittie should not judge them. Best dogs ever. A holes make them mean. They are born, seeet loving, and happy. Love your story.
Dogs are so much better than humanity deserves. I'm so grateful for them and so glad this wee man found his voice when he met his soul dog.

She was a angel sent from Heaven just for him, glad he's finally happy and talking.
Two kindred souls finding their safety in each others gravity.
Remember that no mean pitbulls are born that way. Mean people who should never have access to dogs sometimes train them to become monsters. Glad Xena has been a blessing for your son.
Pitties are some of the most special dogs ever.
You just never know what animal is going to click, so glad you kept trying and gave Xena a great job to do that healed her as well.

This is definitely a happy story worth telling.
That's awesome. The right friendship can unlock magic.
Xena is beautiful. I lost my Pit Mix in November 2023 and really miss him!
We don't deserve the purity and loyalty of dogs.
Him singing,"You've got a friend in me." To Xena melted my heart!So cute,he definitely has a friend in her and her in him!
Being autistic myself, I love this even more so than regular people
And this is why these dogs are amazing
No bad dogs, only bad owners
What a beautiful story ❤😊
I am crying. Xena is an angel and Jonny is a very strong warrior. So nice to see them together. Much love ♥
Animals can sense things we can't, that's why they make such great therapy. They can sense when people are upset or sick. I couldn't imagine not sharing my life with an animal.
Best Friends
Someone's "trash" is definitely this little boy's treasure! Dogs are magic!! Thank you for giving her the chance to be your little one's hero.

PITTIES RULE!! Thank you for adopting.. UR A PAWSOME HOOMAN!!
We've had 2 pitties, a boxer, a Rottweiler, and 2 terriers in my lifetime. They were all rescues at early development ages. They were never aggressive, more like babies. They all lived long lives, except 1. They were all smart and easy to train. They would approach the front door silently behind me because THAT is how they were trained.
Our pitty mix was the most gentle, loving dog we ever had. She was great with the grandkids, other dogs, and anyone she met. She went to the Rainbow Bridge over 2 years ago and we still miss her so much.
Pit bulls👼🏻 ❤are the most special amazing loving intelligent protective companions you could ever be blessed with🐶 💯👍🏻🙌🏻😇
May God richly bless Jonny, Zena, you and your entire family.🙏❤️
The same way that guns dont kill people, pit bulls arent evil. It takes a human being to to turn either against you. Animals are born just wanting to love and be loved. I am glad this boy found something to open his life and bring him joy. Also glad the Mom put the things she heard aside and let the little pittie into their home.
What a comfort to know that animals are so much more intuitive than us, and seem happy to volunteer their love and friendship just where it is needed. So glad for them both.
Pitbull is my spirit animal.

I’m so happy for Johnny and Zena ❤ animals and small children are a blessing to one another and don’t let the big dog stereotype scare you because they know who to trust and it’s the humans who make them bad 99.9% of the time especially the females they’re protecting in a good way 😊
Great son, dog and friendship.
I've only met a few pitbulls (illegal here), but the ones I've met were all amazing normal dogs. From what I gather they have the same personality as my staffie had more or less. This insane love and loyalty to people, which of course can be problematic with the wrong owner. Dogs are never the problem, people are.
She understands the assignment! ❤❤

That is the magic of animals. In most cases, they will bring in a different view of the world and a peace, calmness, and oneness with things greater than ourselves.
I’m autistic and have always had a special bond with dogs.
Such a lovely partnership!
Our west highland is like this with our autistic daughter too. We didn't train her, she just knew what to do and chose her out of all three children to bond with. She can head off a meltdown in seconds with her licking and lying on her.
And now you completely understand the saying "There are no bad dogs, just bad owners!" There hasn't been a truer statement to explain the stigma of pit bulls! They have been used as nanny dogs for human children for many years and do an exceptional job! I'm very glad you know the truth now! ☀️💖🙏

Hello Ann beth nice picture with your lovely dog
I love your peanut butter and jelly ❤❤
My Dog Rex / Dachshund who I rescued from the Humane Society at 9 months old. He was awesome with my GodDaughter with special needs. He stayed by her side to make sure she was ok. When she pulled his ears he didn’t even care. He loved her so much. All I had to say was Corbin is coming to visit & Rex would sit at the door till she got here. Then sit next to her the entire visit. When we went to Corbin’s house I did not even need a leash, Rex would run to the car, ready to go. Dog’s are smarter then we give them credit. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 ❤💙
