Rescued dog becomes rescuer (Am Staff AKA Pitt Bull)

Eric Peterson of Brookings is a rescuer times two. First, he rescued Eve, a 2-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier. Now, with a demanding training regimen behind them, he's ready to undertake some search-and-rescue missions - with a lot of help from his pawed pal and partner. Eve is now qualified in "tracking and trailing ." She and Peterson are part of the Brookings County Sheriff's Department K-9 Search and Rescue program. A scenario for her and Peterson might be a situation where a nursing-home resident suffering from dementia wanders off or a child wanders away from home and becomes lost.

A dog is like a gun. It can be used for good or bad. It all depends on who's hand it's in. If it's in a decent person, the gun is used for good. In the hand of a scumbag criminal, it will be used for evil purposes. Am Staff's have been chosen by many scumbags as their weapon of choice by training them to be aggressive.

The more you learn about the breed, the more you'll realize it. Unfortunately we have some on here who want to be ignorant on the breed.
