Ex fighting pit bull terrier dog helping cancer patients rescued
This is Leo. He used to belong to disgraced NFL footballer Michael Vick. For those who don’t know why Vick is disgraced it’s because he was found guilty of being involved in illegal dog fighting. Leo was one of his dogs, now rescued.
Leo now leads a new life. A life that many would still argue is impossible. For Leo is not only an ex fighting dog, he is also a Pit Bull Terrier. In the UK, Leo would be dead.
What the ex fighting dog actually does is bring comfort to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.The Pit Bull Terrier dog is doing a great job.
Oh, and let’s think quite seriously about whether we’re happy about this fact, which I shall repeat once again: The Pit Bull Terrier would be dead if he lived in the UK. Dead, not because of his the illegal fighting his owner used him for. Dead, not because he’d attacked anyone. No, dead just because of what he is and what he looks like. Are you happy about that dog.
