My husband and I rescued an American Bulldog that had been dumped after producing a litter of puppies. We got her from an emergency foster placement. 56 lbs when found collapsed on the side of the road, 62 lbs when we took her home. When she was finally strong and healthy she weighed 85 lbs. Her transformation was wonderful and she appreciated every bit of kindness for the rest of her life. Great dog who blessed our family.

@@gloriamargolis581 Most people recognize that often dogs are lumped into the category "pitbull-type" including American Staffordshire Terriers. Dogs with big blocky muscled heads, muscular chest, and those adorable ears (if not horribly cropped) are called "pitbulls". Its OK - for every pitbull hater, there are those who recognize the evil is not in the breed, but in the breeder/abuser of the dog. Even having multiple "pitbulls" as protection animals, and Only training for aggression, is abuse. Those dogs are likely to see everyone (except their owner) as "the threat" and be aggressive to them. It is the training, not the dog.

Had nothing to do with breed. It’s prior owners who treat dogs like this one. Starving, abuse, and making them aggressive.

If you can’t properly take care of a dog, DON’T HAVE ONE! Stop blaming the breed of the animals with that lame excuse.

I lost my heart, he was 15, in April of last year and I thought I had hit the worst period in my life and then my Mother had a fall this past December and needed a partial hip replacement. Unfortunately, the hospital didn't tell us they had a Covid epidemic so we didn't wear masks. My Mother caught it right away and my brother was next and I finally caught. It was in a 48 hour period. Then Mom's went to pneumonia and between the coughing and the pain of the partial replacement she couldn't bear it. Her heart gave out on December 14, 2023. Now I have hit bottom.

Growing up, my neighbors had a pittie. He would watch us as we played and the few times a bear was nearby - this was rural Montana - he would alert us and start howling to get my mom's attention so she knew something was wrong. He wasn't even ours, but he loved us just because we petted him. Just for such a tiny gesture of affection, he protected us without hesitation. I miss him dearly. He was a good boy, even if he did have an irrational fear of fish in the creek. (If one jumped he would *bolt* for home. I don't think he realized he was tough, tbh.)

Its neglect. Theres a couple things that can make a well cared for dog lose massive weight, certain cancers or malabsorbtion syndromes can do it. But dogs like that have doting owners who do everything they can to keep their loved pet happy and as healthy as they can until its time to say goodbye. They arent in shelters with wounds on their muzzles and massively overgrown nails.
