Every potential adopter who came to meet Rush recoiled upon learning of his breed, “Pit Bull,” a label burdened with the unfair stigma of aggression and volatility. As Rush watched each of his shelter mates leave with new families, his heart ached in confusion, silently questioning why he remained unchosen.
However, hope glimmers in the form of a simple, touching gesture. Shelter volunteers were moved to witness Rush carefully making his bed before potential families arrived. Caught on video, Rush gently grips the bed sheets with his mouth, expertly tucking them into the corners with precision. It’s clear that this endearing act is Rush’s attempt to present himself as the real good, loving dog he is, hoping to make a lasting impression on the day’s guests.
