People Warned Them Not To Make Pit Bull A K9 Officer, But They Didn’t Listen

It crushes our souls to see that Pit Bulls are still treated as unlikable dogs despite being amazing companions.

The Animal Farm Foundation has been working to ease the negative stereotypes around Pit Bulls since 1985. The foundation’s latest effort is to train shelter Pit Bulls into useful K9s for the police force.

They give these “undesirable” dogs a second chance by helping them blossom into skilled detection dogs. So far, the results have been really promising!
