About Me:: I rescued Daisy Mae through www.badrap.org in July, 2006. She was found starving & was at a severely emaciated 37 pounds on the streets of Oakland. Animal Control Officers believed she was used as a bait dog, a submissive dog without gameness, who brings out the dominance and fighting instincts in other dogs. Within 4 months of living & training with me & being raw fed, she filled out to 52 pounds and passed both her AKC CGC tests AND became a certified Therapy Dog. Now she's athletic, loving, joyful and silly. She has supervised doggie playdates every single day. We visit a local hospice facility each weekend where the 60+ advanced Alzheimer's patients pet her and occassionally even remember her name as one of their only words left. Daisy is a dream dog and a true breed ambassador. I'm prouder of her each passing day! Plus, I just love the upside cuddles that pit bulls are known for!

Looks like you are doing great things with her too - so glad there are people like you out there promoting the breed and letting people see how wonderful these dogs are!

At 8:27pm on June 19th, 2008, Cristina and Bella said…: Hi Alison. Thanks for that info. I will do some research. I really admire the work you do and am looking to enrich my life with some type of volunteer work, or something. I would like to give back to the community. Glad to hear they accept all breeds. :)

At 8:40pm on June 16th, 2008, Cristina and Bella said…: i meant to ask you. how does a dog become a certified therapy dog (aside from the obvious i.e. taking classes, etc)? do most cities have this program and do most of them accept pit bulls for the program? i am sure it is very rewarding for you as a person to visit the elderly in hospice and also very rewarding that you are helping to put a positive name to the breed we on this site love so much.

At 7:50pm on June 16th, 2008, Cristina and Bella said…: thanks for the nice pic comment. :) bella is my life and she pretty much lets me do anything to her, including putting her in the pool. i am going to take her to the beach soon and see how she does. she went once when she was very very young. she is almost 8 now. i wonder what she will think of the ocean and the waves. it should be comical. take care. -cris
