Each year, many dogs are killed in dogfights and it’s sad to know that this horrendous activity still continues. It’s a good thing that there are people and organizations who try to stop dogfighting operations and rescue the dogs. However, many that are rescued have too much trauma from their previous life that they are not deemed fit as pets. That is why most of them are euthanized.
Animal control authorities discovered a dog named Pacino at an abandoned residence in New Jersey. Pacino’s body was covered in bite marks when he was brought to the animal hospital. The dog was also frightened of everything.
Brittany, a veterinary technician at the animal facility, felt pity for Pacino. She was aware of the likelihood that Pacino would be euthanized because of his past. Pacino was also so scared of people that, when Brittany unlocked his kennel, he refused to go out.
Animal control authorities and the veterinarian felt Pacino had been used as a bait dog because he was coated in dried blood and bite wounds. Pacino served as a practice target for the more aggressive dogs, which is a horrifying thought.
The veterinarian and animal control authorities decided that euthanizing Pacino would put an end to his misery. While the humans were discussing what was next for the dog, Pacino glanced up at Brittany and licked her face. Brittany realized at that moment that Pacino deserved a second chance at life.
Brittany requested the veterinarians for a second chance for Pacino. She assumed full responsibility for Pacino’s care and also made the decision to foster him. Brittany just wanted for Pacino to leave the hospital and into a more comfortable setting. Her top priority is facilitating Pacino’s physical, mental, and emotional recovery.
The woman recognized that Pacino still has a long way to go to improve. Pacino did not know how to behave as a dog, and he was fearful when dealing with humans and other animals. But the dog began to learn he could trust Brittany, but, only after much patience and affection from the woman.
A few weeks later, Pacino’s wounds began to heal. Pacino began to emerge from his shell and show his silly and mischievous side. He now loves and trusts humans once more, despite his horrific history.
Brittany decided that Pacino would continue to live with her. After what Pacino has been through, he deserves all the affection in the world.
