Some dogs are so singularly built for love that they will do whatever it takes to find a place in which they can be loved in the way they deserve to be. That is the story of this pitbull who put everything on the line to find her furever family.

They say that love takes work, but the work that is usually referred to with that saying pales in comparison to the work that this doggo had to put in to find the love of her life. After who knows how long of being put in truly terrible situations, she made her escape and it was along this escape that she happened to bump into her hero and her soon to be pawrent.

But it was not just the doggo who worked hard for the love she would soon earn as her new pawrent also put in the hard graft pulling dangerous stunts to save the poor scared pupper and ensure her safety. Giving her shelter, tending to her pain, and filling her desperately empty belly. This is the story of hard earned love between a desperate doggo and a heroic hooman.

What in the what? Who is this hero who suddenly sprung onto the scene. To put yourself at risk, to risk life and limb like that by throwing yourself under a truck during rush hour traffic is truly spectacular. We cannot even imagine how terrified this poor pupper must have been to find herself in such a situation and how bad the situation she had been running from had been that she would find this to be a reasonably better place to be in. It is hard to image the terrible places that some dogs come from, but when you see what they are willing to do to get out of them you can get an idea…

Wow, this is just an unreal tale of a pupper who just wanted to be a part of a pack, a part of a family, to be loved and to love others. Yet at every possible turn she was forced to do the opposite, to the point she had to defend herself several times. And yet, with all that terrible history behind her, she still had hope, still held the belief in her heart that joining a pack could still be possible. A fact which was evidenced by her immediately trying to join her hero’s doggos in their activities, pretending to be part of their pack.
