One
of my favorite TV shows is Pit Bulls and Parolees. It airs on Animal Planet.
It is where parolees get a chance for a new start by helping at the
Villalobos Pit Bull Rescue Center. The main reason that I love this show,
is that a breed of dog that most people are fearful of get a chance to be seen
as loveable. Secondly, Tia, the owner, does a great job at rescuing many
of the pitbulls from bad situations. Lastly, I love seeing that all the
hard work and compassion put into the rescue center pays off when the dogs get
a new home. Each show focuses on a different type of situation and how it
is handled. The most recent episode revolved around a pitbull named
Alien, that was stranded on the side of a highway tied to the side of a pole.
The collar had embedded into his neck and unfortunately, the dog turned
out to have heartworm disease. In the end, a volunteer agreed to take
Alien into her house for foster care while he got better.
