PIT BULL USED AS WEAPON BY ROBBER TURNS OUT TO BE GENTLE - “From the very beginning, she just needed a chance to be a dog.”

A female pit bull named Scooter was once used by a robber to threaten a man and his child. The robber made it look like Scooter was tugging at the leash. However, Scooter was later rescued by a shelter and determined to be non-agressive. To everyone’s surprise Scooter turned out to be so personable that she trained for the Canine Good Citizen test. Please read the story from msnbc.com:

Scooter never did anything wrong. But last July when a father and his teenage son strolled with their bikes along the Willamette River in Portland, Ore., a robber used the gray and white pit bull to mug them. It worked.

***

Scooter proved to be extraordinarily loyal, never wanting to leave her foster mom’s side and even assisting as other dogs got groomed. It appeared she hadn’t played with kids before — but before long she was rolling over to welcome a belly rub from…children.

“Scooter’s story is important because it highlights a lot of dogs who are misaligned because of what they are, what their breed is,” said Collingsworth…“From the very beginning, she just needed a chance to be a dog.”

The 4-year-old pit bull seemed perfect to Kris Beattie, a retired nurse who wanted a therapy dog to help cheer up nursing-home patients. So, she adopted Scooter and brought her home. Beattie said she loves the way Scooter follows her around, gazes at her soulfully and intently watches her cook.

Scooter is an example of how some dogs just need to be given a chance to shine. Click here for the full story, and click here to see Scooter on YouTube. Also, click here to learn about a rescue organization called Born Again Pit Bull Rescue, which helped with Scooter’s rehabilitation.

ANIMAL ADVOCATES AUSTRALIA Animal rights, also known as animal liberation, is the idea that the most basic interests of non-human animals should be afforded the same consideration as the similar interests of human beings. Advocates approach the issue from different philosophical positions, ranging from the protectionist side of the movement, presented by philosopher Peter Singer—with a utilitarian focus on suffering and consequences, rather than on the concept of rights—to the abolitionist side, represented by law professor Gary Francione, who argues that animals need only one right: the right not to be property. Despite the different approaches, advocates broadly agree that animals should be viewed as non-human persons and members of the moral community, and should not be used as food, clothing, research subjects, or entertainment...WIKI Twitter @animalforce Facebook http://www.facebook.com/Margforsharks "THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN MEN SUCH AS I WILL LOOK UPON THE MURDER OF ANIMALS AS THEY NOW LOOK UPON THE MURDER OF MEN" LEONARDO DA VINCI Animal Advocate, Shark Conservationist, Animal liberationist, Greenpeace Frontliner, Vegan and Buddhist.

THEY WILL NEVER KNOW A SPRING As I walked along the street today My heart began to sing, For I passed a mass of daffodils And I felt the joy of Spring. I marveled at the colours Of the blossom everywhere, And it filled my heart with joy To see the trees no longer bare. Then I thought of all the animals And no more my heart could sing, And I ached for all the millions Who will never know a Spring. I thought of pigs in factory farms In squalid filthy pens, And I thought of spider-ridden sheds Stacked up with battery hens. They'll never feel a ray of sun, Their hearts will never sing, Locked away from life and beauty They will never know a Spring
