I wanted to say thank you so much to attendees of Switch Dartmouth for your kind words and open hearts for my rescue dog. I was worried his appearance and scars would cause a bit of negativity but your hearts are all so big. He had a great day being the family pal he can finally be all thanks to you! Also a big thanks to the gentleman on Prince Albert with the bucket of water and the new tattoo shop with the water station. The pup and I were grateful!! —PibbleMomma

There’s a special place in Valhalla for people who give a loving home to an animal that’s known naught but cruelty.
And a special place in whatever you consider hell to be, for those who inflict that cruelty. I have a neighbor who works for a couple of pitbull rescue groups and he’s told me stories that would make a stone weep.
Best of luck to you and your pal.
