Copper'sMom February 24th, 2006, 04:23 PM Well it's about time a POSITIVE PIT BULL story is printed in a newspaper in ONTARIO!!!!!!:thumbs up Maybe it'll make people think a little more (I hope).:fingerscr
twodogsandacat February 24th, 2006, 04:54 PM We've been watching this story for a while and a video about Neville from a Washington area newscast is consuming 2GB of my disk space (I can delete it now).
It's about time this story 'came home'. I hope somebody reads it to Bryant...or takes out all the big words and lets him read it for himself. I love how the locals all know the story.
I am still anxiously awaiting Neville's first BIG BUST.

You had it right on the first part , someone will have to read it to him . Personally I would like to shove it down his throat , the newspaper and a small depth charge .
seeker February 24th, 2006, 07:27 PM I am going to thank the sun and the author for this one .
Done !
Georgiapeaches February 24th, 2006, 07:58 PM I am so glad this is getting more publicity in Ontario.
The London Free Press printed Nev's story, as told by his foster mom in Washington, back in August 2005. The other Ontario papers are now just discovering this gem of a story.
LL1 March 2nd, 2006, 12:20 PM What a great story,Bullies-in-Need did a great job.I wish they had more support,they are the ones actually helping the dogs.
Luvmypit March 2nd, 2006, 12:46 PM They published my letter today in the Sun regarding Neville!

Little pit bull who could
I just wanted to say a big thank you to Thane Burnett for his article (Feb. 24) on Neville, the once maligned pit bull from Ontario turned Washington state trooper. It's such a breath of fresh air to read a positive story about these misunderstood dogs. Not only could Neville have died but there are many, many more in his position as we speak. Before this ban, St. John's Ambulance Therapy dogs welcomed pit bulls and had many who served hospitals, nursing homes, and chronic care wards along with search and rescue dogs. Unfortunately, these dogs have to stop what they love doing because of a small group of irresponsible dog owners. These dogs aren't just contributors to society but contributors to families that love them just like any other dog. Hopefully, people will now see these dogs in a different light.
