When Money was prepared, we had been positioned in a room and he was introduced in. It was love at first sight. He was too skinny — we may see his ribs and backbone — and he was terribly smelly, however he was simply as pleased as ever. He was 1 yr and 1 month outdated on the time.
After bringing him house, it didn’t take lengthy to understand he had been abused in some unspecified time in the future in his younger life. He was frightened of plastic hangers. At simply the sight of 1, he would decrease his head, pin his ears again, and tuck his tail. At first, I merely made certain he didn’t see me utilizing them. After a few months, I slowly started placing laundry away whereas he was close by. Little by little, he realized I wasn’t going to harm him.
We’ve now had him for two years and three months. He will get alongside splendidly with our 7-year-old cat — typically they even play collectively in essentially the most hilarious methods. He’s now 3 years outdated, extraordinarily wholesome regardless of two knee surgical procedures final yr, and each bit as pleased because the day we met him.
Money got here to me at a time after I was emotionally shattered. He actually helped me choose up the items. I imagine our son helped us discover him. I imagine he knew we would have liked a brand new canine.
Money is taken into account a rescue as a result of he discovered himself in the identical shelter twice earlier than even turning a yr outdated. However in truth, he rescued me. Surviving and persevering with to stay after dropping our son is the toughest factor I’ve ever finished. Even after greater than two years, it’s one thing I take care of daily. I’m so grateful for — and extremely fortunate to nonetheless have — the love of my pit bull to assist me by means of it.
