The animal control department in Gladewater, Texas had a puppy (not more than a couple months old) in the back of their truck for three days without food/water (they fed it once). For a good part of those three days it rained and the poor girl couldn't go anywhere. She had to sit and lay in her poop and pee and her bones were starting to show. Anyway, my sister told them if they weren't going to take care of it to give it to her and they did, so she brought it home.
The puppy is a black brindle pitt bull with four white paws and and white stripe down her throat and chest. It looks like she stepped in ice cream, tried to drink it and it dribbled down the front of her. She looks like all the pictures I've looked up on the 'net so I think she's full blood. Go to [link

She looks like the third one down on the left. *NOTE: this is not the actuall dog, but it could pass as an mirror image* She's the cutest little thing and she's sweet too! I have another dog at home already so the plan was for me to take the puppy home. However, when dad found out that I was planning on bringing the puppy home, he almost flipped. (Yes, I still live at home, but I pay rent!) He works for a hospital so he sees all the bad sides of the dog attacks that happen. He's worried that when the dog gets older, she'll attack my niece, 5, and nephew, 2. I've tried to explain to him that with proper training the dog won't be a threat, but he won't listen. Can someone help me?? I don't want this puppy to go to the shelter! There've been pitt bulls stolen around the city recently and I don't want this sweet girl to end up in a fighting ring. I want her to have a good life with good people.
It's not the breed; it's the stupid owners!!
