I emailed you guys this story, even though I figured you’d have already came across it. I’m so glad you posted it! At the dog park with Kasey I’ve only run across one pitbull that I was nervous around. The rest have been complete sweethearts. Actually, the scariest dog at the park is a very territorial golden retriever! :O)

My favorite of the bunch is Hector, who always looks as if he is in heaven just for being held.

Look at where Hector is going:

And look at that face! What a darling dog.

Don’t forget to send a copy of this video to the HSUS and head ex PETA honcho Wayne Pacelle. HSUS called for the killing of all Vicks dogs but not before they begged for money to help them. They still call for the killing of any “fighing dogs”. Here is an excerpt from a “study guide” from their HUMANE TEEN printed material.. This is supoosed to be a “discussion” topic for tennagers..
“The HSUS
recommends that any dog who has been specifically
bred, conditioned, or used for fighting not
be placed for adoption by an animal shelter but
be humanely euthanized.
Think About It
Do you agree with The HSUS’s recommendation
regarding the euthanasia of fighting dogs placed
in shelters? Why or why not?”

Why not?/ just look at the video.. I seriously suggest that anyone with children in school at any age check out what is being taught.. This is directly from Humane Teen.. the HSUS website..pretty sick stuff….especially for a non profit TAX EXEMPT group who claims to be an animal PROTECTION agency.
Freinds don’t let friends donate to the HSUS or PETA!!!
way to go Leo….

Zippiddeedoodaa… I’ve been saying it for years. It’s nice to hear a back-up chorus, every now and then.

As a longtime dog trainer, in particular one who specialized in re-training aggressive dogs for over a decade, this kind of thing isn’t news to me.

I’ve never met an “inherently” aggressive dog. …Lots of dogs who learned all kinds of threatening coping strategies, but none who couldn’t learn more appropriate ones. …No genetic manipulation required. Just good, ol’ fashioned training, socialization, leadership, and compassion. …Can make a model canine citizen out of any dog. :-)

YES!!!!

I was just reading over at Bad Rap recently for updates on the dogs. Hurray for Leo! and Bad Rap and everyone else involved with getting these dogs a second chance.

Leo’s a beautiful pup.
