Of course I had many mixed up feelings about it, but this is where our friends are. The outcome was really positive. I was able to share with my friends there, and my dog was so happy to romp with her buddies

Towards the end of the night a young guy came into the small dog area of the Park, where we go. He had a 4 month old Pit Bull puppy that was the same color as the one that attacked my dog. This little guy was just adorable and so happy.

It seemed like an omen to me.... I had a long conversation with this guy and learned that his Mom fosters puppies that are taken away from irresponsible owners. I explained my experience to him and he was so understanding. He has seen first hand the problems that come from owners that don't provide a good home.

I could see the innocence in this young dog and watched as our dogs interacted in a really positive way.

It really warmed my heart and helped me to overcome some of the horrible memories that I was holding onto.

What have I learned from this experience?

1. Dogs can teach you alot. They are so forgiving and don't seem to hold a grudge.

2. Irresponsible owners should not be allowed to have or breed dogs

and last

3. Pit Bulls are really great dogs, when raised in the right environment.

Thank you for everyone who wrote to me through this forum. It was through your words that I was able to grow and find my way back....
