The rescuers at the Detroit Bully Corps (DBC) often experience heartache while advocating for dogs in Detroit. But they also experience joy and do what they do so they can witness moments like this! In the video below, two former fighting dogs meet for the first time. The dogs, Vito and Maggy, were rescued from dog fighting and rehabilitated.
“This video defines the very reason we wake up daily,” writes DBC President William J. Bellottie. “Our mission is to improve the lives of canines…My personal mission is to end Dog Fighting. These 2 canines have shown the most dignity & define the very soul of my work, my focus & the American Pit Bull Terrier.”
“At one time they were someone’s cash register, pitted against other canines & bred for money,” he continues. “Both came to DBC beat to hell & discarded. They both truly had the heart of a champion. They both decided to shed the mental scars of an old life & move forward in a world that had given them every reason to throw in the towel.”
It’s hard to imagine the two dogs had such a traumatic past when you watch them playfully wrestling and chasing each other so happily!
