Bella the Pit Bull, to the Rescue!

When Bella found her 67-year old, wheelchair-bound master stabbed in the neck, she knew just what to do. She ran out to the road, obviously distressed, and when a Good Samaritan stopped to see what was wrong, Bella led her to the victim.

Police were later able to tie this stabbing to another, and soon arrested the man. The other victim, the suspect’s mother, succumbed to her wounds. Ironically, the killer also killed his mother’s dog.

Bella’s family is still waiting to see if their father will survive – he’s in critical condition with severe spinal cord injuries. All of us at doggies.com are sending hugs and good wishes for his speedy recovery.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

She found new purpose as a police dog and is now a key weapon in the Milwaukee PD’s war on drugs, where she was successful in 18 of her first 20 searches.

Pit Bull Shows Lassie Behavior

When an Atlanta man tried to leave his home one morning for work, he was stopped by a Pit Bull, but it’s not what you think.  This Pit Bull is actually a hero!  It seems the dog had found the man’s wife after a brain aneurysm caused her to fall and fracture her skull. The dog has now won the “Neighbor of the Year” award from the Vintage Pointe Neighborhood Association, the first dog ever to be so honored.  Check out the video from CBS Atlanta.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
