The people who saved me say that I wouldn't have lasted much longer there. I'm not really sure why I was thrown away, but the lady who pulled me out says it's because I'm kind of a wussy. I'd rather give kisses than fight with anyone, so I wasn't very useful to my old owners.
After I got out of the dumpster, I met a nice man who has written books about homeless dogs. He also has a group that helps owners take better care of their pets and makes sure dogs like me find good homes. We were fast friends.
I was trying to be REAL cute for everyone so they would take me home. I didn't want to go to shelter, because I can't give enough kisses there.
How do you think I did?
I must have done something right because they brought me to a house! And then, I got to go on the NEWS with the nice man who helps dogs like me.
He was talking about a calendar called "The Pit Bulls of New Orleans". It has lots of pictures of other dogs who The Sula Foundation has helped. He said that next year, I may be able to be in the calendar so everyone can see how well I'm doing!
After I was on the news, they brought me to the vet. This wasn't very fun, but I was just happy to be out of that dumpster. I was actually in pretty good shape, just really skinny.
Oh, and they looked at my leg that's always hurting me. They said it's hyper-extended or something. That's why it hurts so bad when I walk and I can't run anymore. I'm starting to feel much better and my parents say I'm gaining weight. But my leg still hurts and I can't chase squirrels when they come into the yard. I really want to because I'm feeling better, but I can't.
We don't know if I can have the surgery yet. It costs a lot of money. I hope we can because I deserve to run. I've earned it.
