Ace’s Story – From Rescued Pit Bull Puppy to Loved Family Pet
written by Judy Walsh
I am alone and afraid with my brother in an apartment without food or water and there are many strange noises. Where is my mom? I am cold and scared. I hope someone comes soon to feed us and clean up our mess. It has been a long time since we have seen our mom and the big man who fed her.
There is the knocking at the door again. My brother and I are hiding in the kitchen and shivering. I want to bark but afraid to do so. I see a person looking in the window at us. There is a loud breaking sound as the door opens. Two large people with dark uniforms are looking around the apartment.
My brother and I are huddling in a corner shivering and we are scared. The people pick us up and they are warm and we cuddle into their coats. They carry us to a truck and put us in a crate with a blanket in it. I wonder where we are going now. The truck stops and the people carry the crate into a funny smelling place.
Now there are more people saying something softly so as not to scare us. They are holding us and cleaning us off. They are patting us off with towels and drying us. Now they are petting us. My brother is shivering more than I am and he looks skinny. I still do not see Mom and wish I knew where she is? I want to drink from her belly. The people feed us something like Mom’s milk and we drink it.
We are both full and tired now. They place us in another cage together on top of warm soft blankets. My brother and I both fall asleep and start to snore. We occasionally wake up to a strange bark and then go to asleep again. We are happy and not hungry any more.
Now we are being picked up out of the cage by another person and cleaned up and fed again. We are put into a crate and carried to a truck and now the truck is moving. We sleep for awhile and then smell something really stinky and the wind is blowing in on us and the ride is bumpy. We look out of the crate and see grass and trees. The truck stops now and the crate are carried into a big room with many animals.
There are large animals with black spots on them and they say “moo” and then there are small animals that rub against the cage and “purr.” There is barking too but we can’t see the other puppies. Someone opens out crate and we can walk outside in an area that has a little fence around it.
My brother and I are afraid. We wait and then there is a hand that scoops us up and places us on the ground. We move around a little and then we are petted by the hand. My brother runs after me and we fall over each other. We start to play and have fun. We are now looking for our Mom. I wonder where she is. We are now hungry and soon we are fed and put back in our crate on a new warm blanket.
I like this place and my brother does too. They feed us and give us some attention. Our schedule is like this for days. At night, it is really dark out. There are no street lights and car engines but animal noises such as birds and the wind blows around us. This is a farm I think. One warm day in the summer, a car stopped near our crates and a pretty young lady jumped out and said to the people that she was there to look at the rescued puppies. All the puppies were taken out of their crates and we ran around the pen.
I was playing with my brother and jumping and nipping at him. The arm scooped me up and I was given to the girl to hold. She was petting me and holding me tight so I licked her fingers. She decided she liked me so she was taken to my crate and she was given my blanket and some papers.
She placed me in her car and took off down the road. I wondered where we were going and where my brother was.
She drove awhile and looked over at me smiling. She petted me now and then and covered me up with a blanket. I felt warm and good so I fell asleep. When the car stopped, she picked me up and took me inside a house. I was waking up now and looking around. Where is my brother? Where am I?
