P.B.
Whimpering from the gutter, the small puppy looked more like a piece of raw hamburger than a dog. He stumbled aimlessly using his sense of smell to try to find his way as his eyes were swollen shut. It was impossible to identify what breed he was, or even what color he was, as most of his fur was gone and the rest was stained with blood.
Suspecting he had been used as a "bait dog" ARR scooped up the mangled animal unsure he would even make it to the hospital. During the emergency exam of the frightened animal, the vet gently pulled open his eyes and the puppy stared up at him begging for help.
Over the next two and a half years, with intensive therapy, a beautiful brindle Pit Bull emerged. Though thick scar tissue could still be felt when petting him, he sought human touch and interaction.
A very social creature, P.B. (Pit Bull, Pretty Boy, or Peanut Butter) as he was known soon made friends with the cats at ARR, especially with a large diabetic Maine Coon Cat, and the two became inseparable.
