This is a very touching story. The human and his service dog (in this case, the dog is the "caretaker", LOL!) are so very close. "This was meant to be," as the saying goes....
Pit pulls are attentive and protective, loyal and loving. Yes, there have been cases where they have suddenly "turned" on people and other dogs, but this is usually because they have not been properly trained and have been unsupervised, left to their own devices. With proper training and supervision (and lots of love), they can make excellent service dogs and pets. In the past (possibly on the old forum) I have posted cases where pit bulls have dragged people from railway lines (whom sometimes they didn't even know), at risk to their own lives. But like most intelligent breeds, such as Alsatians, they do need good training: "vivimus regulis".
