Born of a mother who was left on the side of the road to die, Fiona learned that she was different from the other dogs when she witnessed the person at the pet store replacing the tag on her crate that read “Pit bull” with one that said “Boxer mix.”

Taken in by a loving family, she watched as they experienced a wide range of reactions from people they met as new dog owners. There was admiration from Pit bull lovers. Others were terrified to walk within 50 feet of her. Some scooped up their small dogs, saying “Aren’t you afraid she’s going to attack?” She was asked to leave a public beach, was on a restricted breed list at the dog kennel and many local apartment complexes. Sometimes she was snubbed on nightly walks in the neighborhood. It would be an uphill challenge for her family. But it was one they were willing to take.

Read about how her family integrated her into the neighborhood, changing those who feared her into loving allies. Along the way, they would teach people the art of behaving like a good human.
