Dying of starvation and abuse... Rescued pit bull pays it back!!!


Uploaded on Oct 23, 2011

This is Judy, an amazing animal. She appeared on my doorstep barely able to move and dying of starvation. I did not know that by saving her, I was saving myself from a downward spiral of grief over my sisters suicide. Sometimes the words "they're in a better place" do not satisfy and comfort can only be had in the presence of a primal understanding. "Will you throw that ball again?" - Song lyrics by Judy(but she made me sing them)

And she's so intelligent. What a wonderful thing you've done! I just lost my pit-mix, after 15 years together. Every day, I thank the universe for the time we had. They are such special dogs and yours is truly awesome!

We had one show up on our ranch, he was so weak he could barely stand. Initially I thought he was lost, but we now believe that he was used as a bait dog for hog hunters since his ears were cut off.

He is so happy to be here, and we are happy to have him.
