?itok=V1eX3-a8Pit bulls get a bad rap, this we know. There's plenty of debate about behavior and temperament and strength and all of that, but this story is about one dog, and the nice people who helped him get home.
This week, the Lee County Sheriff's Office got a call about a large dog running loose in a neighborhood, which worried some people. However, what responding officers found was a happy-go-lucky new friend eager for some affection.
"Upon arrival, the deputy discovered that this wonderful dog was just out looking for friends to play with," their Facebook post read. "...A gate was accidentally left open and this beautiful dog was able to be taken back to his loving home."
The sheriff's office posted some pics of the big ol' boy, smiling and hanging around the squad car. Within days, the post completely blew up with more than 40,000 likes and 4,00 shares, and thousands of people thanking the staff for being so understanding.

(5,946 posts)do't recognize a happy dog, but then again I was cornered by a pack of beagles at a bus stop - don't laugh - they did not look like they were kidding around and there were 6 of them - when do you see a running pack of six beagles? in a city on the loose? the day before in the same city, a pack of dogs attacked a man - so who knew - when the bus came, I jumped on board.
