I'm embedding a video from YouTube that was posted by an amazing organization based in San Francisco called Bad Rap. The name stands for "Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About PitBulls". It's a rescue organization that works to re-establish the good name of these amazing dogs, and to encourage responsible dog ownership. Their mission is to find and rescue the "breed ambassadors", those that represent the best and brightest of this vilified breed, and place them with good people. Their rescues routinely go on to work as therapy dogs with special needs children, the infirm and the elderly; get service dog certification to work as companion animals for the disabled; and earn Canine Good Citizen certifications.
This is a little clip of a dog named Sophie. She's eleven years old, and was severely abused by her former keepers. She was fought and used as a puppy making machine. She's missing an eye and an ear, but her tail works just fine!
If you want to learn more about Sophie and the organization that's been her saving grace, check out the Bad Rap Website. I'm hopefully going to start volunteering with them soon, and I just think this is one of the best non-profit outfits I've ever seen!
