Chief The Story of a Pit Bull - Paperback

by Duyen Nguyen (Author)

About the Story: The story of a very brave dog that saved the life of a young wounded veteran and how she saved his. Both are scarred and damaged... but together -- woman and dog -- find love, trust and peace. The very things they dreamed and wished for but thought they'd never have. Hannah is a combat wounded veteran; her face is disfigured and she lost her left leg. Chief is a dog that escaped from a dog-fighting ring that she adopted (against others advice because of his breed) as part of Wounded Warrior project to help veterans. While traveling in Colorado, at a rest area, Hannah is attacked by a serial killer and rapist. Chief defends her. But the police take Chief from her (permissible under Denver/Colorado law) and plan to put him down. Hannah fights to save his life. Within this entertaining, sometimes heart-wrenching, tale, is a goal to raise empathy, compassion and awareness about animal cruelty... and how dogs that have experienced it can be saved and rehabilitated. And in turn how they can be a benefit to a human... sometimes even saving them with their love.
