The Vick case became a model for how to handle dog fighting cases, including the Missouri 500. Courts and law enforcement agencies across the country are embracing the humane trend of giving dogs rescued from fighting rings a second chance. - Ledy, from her blogpost
The one thing that Ledy didn't write into this page is herself. People who know her and who've read Malcolm Gladwell's landmark book "The Tipping Point" point to Ledy as a classic 'Connector' ... That is, someone who seems to know everyone and knows how to sew them together. This article is like a peek into's Ledy's busy rolodex, which she used then and still uses today to bring "the helpers" together towards the goal of getting our dogs out of the gutter they've been tossed in.
Ledy's MO bust dog Karma ... just like our recent placement Daisy ... just like the fabulous Hector, Sweet Jasmine, Little Red, Haley, Monkey, Josie, Jhumpa, Leo, Georgia, Jonny Justice, Audie, Vessa ... shall I go on? They and their owners are all going above and beyond the call of duty to show us that rock star pit bulls aren't the exception, they're the rule.
Feeling grateful today to everyone who stuck their neck out "then" for the dogs, and who continues to stick it out there for the dogs - now - no matter where they come from. You history makers, you.

It is so heart warming to hear the updates on these dogs. Eleven of them were at WARL including Georgia, she seems to be coming along much further than anyone would have predicted. Yay Georgia.
What a great update. And ahem, Bad Rap, you're making some pretty decent history too! =)
Poor Maude. I'm glad that she was honored and not forgotten. Without my staffie I would not be alive today. Everyone now calls her mommys little lifesaver. Thanks for saving, and helping out the breed of dog I've truely come to love. I couldn't even imagine life without mine.
