The first thought that runs through my mind when I think of a Pit Bull breed dog is the negative publicity the breed gets from the media since most of the stories of Pit Bulls is that they are monsters who would harm children and adults alike when the person gets into their comfort zone.
However Ruby who is a female Pit Bull who is owned by Ronene and Chris Ando are thankful that their pet Ruby only barks when she knows that someone is that the front door so she can alert her owners to check on who is knocking on the door.
Ruby is now being credited as heroine when on Thursday evening in her owners home in Lake View New York she acted out of character by barking a lot of time for a period of around 90 minutes around 1 in the morning.
Ronene could sense that Ruby was trying to get her attention since the Andos recently purchased a propane heater that is located in the basement of the Ando house that sprung a leak that smelled like gas. .
Ronene and her boyfriend Chris then realized that their home was staring to fill up with carbon monoxide that could have taken the lives of the dog as well as the Ondos.
Ruby was adopted by the Ondos at the Paws For Love SPCA in the Buffalo area to be their watchdog as well as their companion. Ronene is very thankful that Ruby was a trained therapy dog at the animal shelter used her instincts to warn her owners to take action and leave the home due to the smell of a very harmful chemical before it would have been too late.
One thing I have learned about dogs, they seem to respond to their owners if they are loved and taken care of properly they will be your friend for the duration of their lives.
I can see why Ronene was upset when Ruby started to bark a lot. At 1 o’clock in the morning she was taking her snooze that could have her last if she did not take of the gas leak in her home on Thursday.
Many, are stories of these rescues reciprocating heroism to humans to imply their appreciation. I’ve found, once they understand, a job, regular meals, a warm bed and love, for no reason, all are extremely appreciative. Particularly “aggressive” breeds. I cringe, there are no aggressive dogs, just poor or no socialization and half baked humans. X/!
Dogs are not real mean animals unless they are mistreated which I can understand why most dogs are really nice pets.
Indeed, the media are writing very bad things about this breed. Trained dogs are very helpful at drowning. Thank you for sharing this story.
You are welcome Lacho59 since I remember seeing on the cover of a magazine dedicated to dogs with the image of a Pit Bull that read “There are no such things as bad dogs at birth.”
There is nothing greater than a sincere and genuine heroic story like this!
Dogs are really man’s best friend despite the negative image that Pit Bulls get from the media.
Great story! They are woderful dogs!
Pit bulls are wonderful dogs that really love their owners. It is too bad the media makes them out to be monsters.
Great story and she is a hero!
Thank you Kim for your kind comments. We all have learned not to judge dogs on their name like all Pit Bulls being mean monsters. At least Ruby is one of the good dogs.
Such a great story, thanks for making my day!
My pleasure to share these wonderful stories with all of you on this site.
They say dogs take from their masters — therefore, if a dog turns bad then probably it is because it was raised in a difficult environment
That is correct since dogs have instinct to use to know who is friendly and is the the enemy.
