Pitbull- positive news for a change

Just wanted to post this piece re: a heroic pitbull instead of all the negativity they get


On a day when temperatures plunged to -40C, Noella Mitchell lay helpless on a handicap ramp staring into the eyes of a pitbull and thinking she was about to die.
The 42 year old woman who has Graves disease (which causes muscular weakness) was unable to get up and feared things had got worse.
Her cries for help had gone unheard, except by Cloe, her sons friends pitbull which had somehow got out of the house
"When i saw her, i thought I was dead" says Noella. But to her surprise Cloe began licking her face and trying to bring attention to her fall. "She sat beside me , howling and barking"
At one point the desperate dog tried to pull Noella inside. Finally her sons friend came home and helped Noella inside to safety.



Papers never seem to make big news of those stories do they
