Life is what we make of it, even when things get tough and bleak, there is always a way to move past that and make strides towards a happier life. A fact which very much represents the faith that this story's pupper had as he joined his new fur family.

Reddit's r/pitbulls subreddit is full of sad and sorrowful stories of darling doggos who have been abandoned for a variety of reasons, but mainly centered around the idea that pitbulls are dangerous dogs. The reality, as any pitbull pawrent will tell you, is that they are the sweetest of creatures and are more akin to a manatee than a shark.

Thankfully, this was something which this story's rescuer and adoptive dog mom were well aware of as they stepped in to save a whole litter of puppies who had been discarded by the side of a busy freeway. So remember, no matter how bad things might look in the moment, time will make sure you manage to see better days. And with that we leave you to enjoy this heartwarming pupper sucess story.

Well, we can tell you dear darling doggo rescuing hooman. There is no shortage of people who due to the overwhelming shame of not being able to handle the doggos in their care, dump doggos in all manner of places and fashions. Their actions stem from a place of pain, and while their actions are abhorrent, they are not necessarily evil or bad people. Just people in a bad spot. Should it be easier to drop off doggos at the shelter? Yes, of course, but as is well known shelters are often full or have to immediately put doggos to sleep. Especially when they happen to be pitbulls. Making this pawticular rescue and adoption that much more special.

Oh goodness, it is more than enough to make the heart melt into a puddle on the floor. What kind of beautiful blossoming relationship is this that these doggos learn to love each other with such understanding and care for one another. You’d be hard pressed to find a puppy who had the emotional and physical intelligence to come to understand that their doggo sibling happened to be deaf. Such fine understanding of another being’s limitations is truly impressive. And only serves to strengthen their bond as they learn and grow together.
