When animal control officers picked up a sad-looking “abandoned” Pit Bull, they knew there wasn’t much hope for this senior baby. Hank, a Pit Bull, was adopted by animal control officers. But even after behavior and socialization training, Hank didn’t “act” the way the adopters wanted. The poor dog was deemed a “failure” and put on the kill list.
However, a miracle happened when one of the shelter workers found a “missing dog” photo that looked quite similar to Hank. Barry Gearhart, the owner of Titan, a missing dog, was devastated to learn that Titan had stolen his dog about a year prior.
Just 2 days before Hank’s scheduled euthanization, the workers informed Barry about Hank. The man ran to the shelter in a panic and raced to the kennel. Barry was able to recognize his dog within seconds. The man broke down as he reached out for his lost dog. Seeing the Pit Bull’s emotional reaction for the first time, the workers had no doubt that he was indeed Titan!
Titan is now safe and sound in the arms of his father thanks to this fortunate turn of events. Titan has known Barry since he could be a puppy. That is why he was always reluctant to get along with anyone. It was a wonderful happy ending.
