It all started with a thumbnail image of a forlorn pit bull. Cropped ears, swollen nipples, her name was Mocha, and her photo had been posted online by her foster mom as a desperate act to find her a permanent home before the clock ran down to zero.

These dogs apparently make wonderful, loyal, and ...
Let's start off with the fact that I never imagined I would own a Pit Bull. Not because of their reputation, however unfounded, but because I am a staunch labra-supporter. But then I saw Loki.
