Chico Miko

Chico was a very abused neglected pit bull that was finally taken from a terrible person to a rescue place. He was in very bad shape and had to have different treatments for his skin, nutrition, etc.

My husband who worked at this rescue place saw him one day when he came into work. He smelled horrible, looked horrible, and he looked mean. My husband the animal lover he is took a chance and walked right into his kennel and knelt down with a snack. This abused pit wouldn't take the snack but instead walked over to my husband and pushed his head under his arm.

We asked since no one else would take him if we could bring him home. My husband did....we were a little worried because we had already two other dogs, some chickens and lots of cats. My husband brought him home and he was fine with all of our animals.

Chico had every right to not like humans and we both are very surprised he is such a sweetheart. I love this dog with my life. He is sooo smart, sweet, and just an amazing dog. He knows he is very powerful and strong but he dosen't see a need to use it. As the rescue place said he is 'politically correct'.

I can't say enough about Chico. He survived all of that horrible experience and still is able to love which is amazing to me. We had never had a pit bull before Chico and we both realize something.....pit bulls are truly the best dogs in the world.

We love all of our animals and our other dogs are wonderful but there is something very amazing about Chico that I can't even put into words. Now in his life he is happy and does this special little thing that I call shake your booty and he does it.

I would die for my dogs if need be but and I know they would do the same for me.
