Pit Bull Named Thor Is A Hero Today
This amazing and wonderful dog, Thor, became a real hero today! His family’s home caught on fire when the family was asleep and he went into the bedroom and jumped on the bed and demanded that his mom and dad get up and get out of the house!!!
And then, Mom and Dad turned to move toward the bassinet to get their three month old baby, only to discover that Thor had already dragged the bassinet all the way to the bedroom door!!!!! Way to go, Thor! You absolutely rock, dude!! And you help to make a good name for your breed. Rotten humans have ‘tarnished’ your breed with their nefarious activities, but your actions today really show that you are just as much man’s best friend as any other dog!!
Donations to the family may be directed through the Elkhart County Red Cross. Call (574) 293-6519

I oh so love to hear good stories about pits! We have had our baby for years and she has been excellent with our kids! I would not trade her for the world, and its great to see some good press finally for the American Pitbull Terrier!
Hey, that happened in my neck of the woods!
Yay! You know we were recently adopted by a pit, right? She has been a wonderful addition to our family. Pits are like any other breed. They can all be TRAINED to be vicious, fighting machines or have the bad traits bred into them. Thanks for sharing!
@Tara I was thinking the exact same thing – that it was awesome to hear some good media coverage on pits!! Most definitely!
@Jenn It sure did, girl! Ya’ll must be doing something right up there!
@Ang I knew you’d been adopted again, but, didn’t realize it was by a pit – very cool! You are so right – I have first hand knowledge of what bad owners can do to dogs – it’s sickening!! I need to make sure Marisa saw this! She’ll love it!
This is a great story!! Help me put it on my FB page, please, daughter dear!
@Momma You got it! No problemo!
