Dogs risk their lives too to save us from perils; in war; from animal attacks; from our own selves; from our emotions like depression. They are there to pull us out of danger. When we are suffering and going through mental anguish, they are intuitive enough to know and unlike other people, they don’t ask questions but are there to comfort us and to prevent us from harming ourselves. How can we not do the same for them?

I’m sure there are many of you out there who have a World’s Greatest Dog, right? Well if there were an award, our rescued three-legged pit bull Bella would definitely receive a nomination — if not take home the gold.

When we started fostering with our local shelter we already had a fairly good idea of how Bella would react to the new house guests. She had already befriended a rescued cow, watched over piglets saved from slaughter, and looked after battery-caged chickens from the largest farmed animal rescue in California’s history. But we never anticipated just how stellar her mothering skills would be.

Pit bulls are often victims of prejudice and discrimination, but contrary to popular conceptions this breed has some of the most gentle and stable temperaments. In 2011, the American Temperament Test Society showed the American pit bull terrier scored an overall temperament rating of 83.9 percent compared to the 77 percent score of the general dog population. I know this, and a quick Google search will easily tell you the same. But I want you to see and experience this.

So far, Bella has helped me care for three litters of kittens, and she has always been gentle and kind. She gladly shares her water bowl, her dog bed, and her human attention. She takes turns grooming them, and they greet her every morning by curling around her legs, and cry when she comes in from her walks.

Bella is doing her part to make sure these kittens are well adjusted and adopted into their forever homes. When they head back to the adoption floor in a few weeks, their enclosures will proudly read, “dog-friendly”.

Kostro learned about Maxine when the business owner contacted him to help this dog. The pet had been showing up at the fast food restaurant for months and the business owners, along customers and passing motorists, took pity on the dog and fed her scraps.

Maxine was not an easy dog to catch. She was elusive and didn’t have a set eating schedule. She showed up the fast food place whenever she felt hungry. Kostro and his rescue partner camped out for hours but were never able to see or catch the pet.

One early morning, the dog rescuer decided to leave behind a humane dog trap baited with tasty food for Maxine. This was the only way to capture the dog safely. Minutes after setting the trap, Maxine arrived. Lured by the tasty treats, she willingly walked inside the trap.

Kostro transported the dog back to his home and arranged his garage for her to decompress and transition to the life of an indoor pet. Meanwhile, he made arrangements for the dog to go with a registered rescue organization.

Maxine didn’t trust people, being leashed completely scared her and she need rehabilitation and a lot of training to help her gain the necessary skills to become an adoptable dog. However, Kostro believed this could be accomplished with time, patience and the right team.

Today Maxine is with a Border Collie rescue organization getting the training she needs to become an indoor house pet.
