Arthur says, "I chose a pit bull because they are so misunderstood. I spent some time with a rescued pit bull last wknd who was just a big sweet angel. I asked about a healing spot on his back and the vet had said he thought
someone had burned him with cigarettes. It breaks my heart that ppl would b so cruel but at the same time I am so touched and inspired by ppl who help and rescue animals."
