Our staff has grown to love this beautiful and broken soul. Skin and bones, we feed her constantly but only foods that are soft enough for her You know, since you ripped her teeth out and all. Mama lets you get right up in her face. In fact, she LOVES it. Shell give you slobbery kisses and nuzzle your face with love. After all, as she so eloquently puts, Loyalty is in their blood. Not Violence.
Sadly, they found out that Mama had breast cancer and she would have to be put down, since there were no funds for her treatment.

Willis prepared herself for the inevitable, finding solace in the comfort she could bring a friend broken down from years of abuse: And when she closes her eyes and takes her last breath, Ill be there. Ill hold her big ol head and Ill tell her how much I love her.
However, something amazing happened: her post went viral and thousands of people offered to donate to Mamas care.
But she is getting another shot at life.

(22,240 posts)I'll be saying that for the rest of my life having been there first hand!
I don't care if it is a pit bull or what!
Harming any animal is horrific to me and why people do things like this to an innocent animal is beyond my comprehension and hopefully, always will be beyond my comprehension!
I hope this dog gets everything it deserves in life, like a loving/caring home to start!
It seems as if she is getting another chance being she is going to get the surgery she needs!

(2,679 posts)I have been thinking about this dog since I read the post. I was so sad when I first read about her and have had my mind constantly drawn back to her.
At least the rest of her life will be so much better and longer then first thought. Awesome.

Nice work, rescuers.
I can only hope that some day, some time, the shitwits who, but for the lack of a condom, came to be in this world that did this to this dog are found, exposed and convicted.
