Female Dog Leads Chained Friend to Freedom

WEST PALM BEACH Fla. — They’re calling it “the incredible journey.”

Dianne Sauve at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control was all smiles as she led two tail-wagging dogs out of their enclosures.

“We’re calling them Brains and Brawn, because she, Brains, led Brawn to freedom,” said Sauve.

The two dogs are recovering at the shelter on Belvedere Road.

Officials there said two men Tuesday saw the emaciated 30 pound male pit bull dragging a 20-pound chain, which was wrapped around his neck, staggering through downtown traffic on Banyan Boulevard.

The dog was barely able to lift his head or walk, but the witnesses said the female pit bull was leading the chained male, stopping to urge him along when he stumbled under the weight.

“The female appeared to be leading this poor other dog who apparently is a friend of hers — you can tell they’re friends — leading him away from wherever they came from,” said Sauve.

The two men stopped and picked up the dogs, bringing them to Animal Care and Control.

Sauve said they would like to know who chained the dog so cruelly, and how he was able to rip free. But she said, sadly, it is not unusual for some pit bull owners to chain their dogs, thinking it makes them more muscular.

The male dog tested positive for heartworms and is being treated.

Sauve said she hopes someone will adopt them, rather than having to have the dogs euthanized.

“After Brains saved Brawny, and led him on this incredible journey away from his prison, they deserve a home,” said Sauve.

Unfortunately Pits are not welcome under most home owners insurance policies. It is all in how they are raised I say! However due to the nature of their changing attitudes it is difficult to place these great creatures in a wonderful home where they will not be saught after as violent refuge. God Bless All creatures great & small.

Unfortunately most home insurance policies will not cover a home with the presence of a Pit Bull dog. And due to the nature of the raising of this species most Pit Bulls do not make it to their full term of age…this is sad! God created all in his nature so all creatures great & small deserve a chance to make it in this world! God Bless!
