this is coco. she was an animal-control-case-stray that was running the mean streets for at least half a month. they just couldn't catch her. people were calling animal control daily. it took me 5 days of feeding her, cooing at her, and having friendly contact with her to gain her trust. then she just followed me home and let me put a collar on her.
animal control ended up taking ownership of her. i visited her 3x at the pound and they wouldn't let us adopt her. "she won't let us near her", they said and they immediately tagged her kennel with "aggressive -- may bite". they ended up putting coco girl down.
i think about her every day. my problem is that i just don't want to forget her. so my promise to coco is that i will try my best not to let another stray pit bull down again (or any dog/animal for that matter...). no matter how hard it may be, no matter how anxious i get, no matter what. i will always do everything i possibly can to save that dog.
