My 6yr old pit is a rescue dog. she was forced to fight for food, later she lost a leg in a car accident, broke another leg into peices, and suffered a broken vertebrea. she is mostly recovered..still needs more PT. Her deadliest move is to lick you forever. I am an Air Force Veteran relocating to Hilo due to fiancial and medical hard ship. I currently have a claim for disability based on PTSD and other ailments, and under treatment at VA in Hilo, HI.. Bunny keeps me calm cuz i focus on her, and i worry less about me. less stress, less anxieties. we comfort each other.
thanks Kevin
