From death row to service dog for pitbull

[Catherine]

I came across a wonderful story. A pitbull, Jericho by name, was rescued and saved from death at a shelter. He was trained as a service dog. He is now part of a human/dog team. Jericho and Matthew are inseparable. With Jericho's help Matthew is able to lead a much fuller life.

Pitbulls are not normally chosen to be service dogs. They are actually banned in many places. Clearly that is a mistake. They are an intelligent dog breed. With the right training they can be a real help to someone who is handicapped.
What a loss it would be if Jericho was not given a chance.
