There’s no such thing as a damaged dog, no matter how much they attempt to persuade you otherwise.
With a suitable family and just a touch of affection, miracles can occur, and Briana stands as the ideal illustration!
This unfortunate Pittie faced hardships for far too long. She spent her days on the streets, far removed from decent living conditions or a place of refuge. She seemed like a lost cause until, at long last, she encountered the perfect mom!
Encountering New Mom
Briana was saved from the streets of Chicago by the volunteers of MCP Rescue & Outreach Chicago. Thanks to a warm-hearted rescuer, Katie, she received the chance to fight that she had been yearning for.
Regrettably, another canine that accompanied Briana on her “wandering journey” was not located, which eventually caused her to become completely withdrawn.
Upon her arrival at Mackenzie’s residence, she was incredibly fearful and despondent.
She avoided eye contact with anyone while remaining in her small kennel. For several days, Briana clung to her large stuffed comfort toy (which likely reminded her of her former street companion).
Mackenzie ensured that Briana had ample space to adjust to her new surroundings. She refrained from pressuring her or forcing interaction against her will.
Then, one day, it finally transpired!
Mackenzie reached for her bowl to replenish it with water when Briana executed the most astonishing move ever. She rolled over onto her back and requested belly rubs! Yes, belly rubs!
The rest, as they say, is history!
That moment marked a significant turning point for everyone. Recognizing that she had finally gained a family that she could trust, Briana flourished into a completely new girl!
She embraced Mackenzie and her canine sibling, Ronan, as her family. In return, she received a family of her own – the one she had been seeking all along!
She May Have Had Owners Previously, But Now She Has A Family
Once Briana emerged from her shell, she adopted “dog manners” in no time!
With her outstanding social skills and the fact that she was already familiar with several commands, it’s likely she had been a family dog before.
Moreover, she always becomes excited when she spots a stroller on the street, leading Mackenzie to believe that she may have lived in a household with a baby.
She became a wonderful companion to Ronan, Mackenzie’s other dog. The remarkable aspect is – even though she’s younger, she consistently behaves as if she’s his mother. She constantly monitors him and offers comfort.
At no more than two years old, one might assert that Briana possesses the intuition of a more mature dog!
However, she reinforces her youthfulness when she’s outdoors! Briana just adores going on daily walks, hikes, and thrilling adventures. This 100% American Pit Bull Terrier girl exudes a passion for life that remains undiminished, and that’s what makes her the perfect companion!
Mackenzie couldn’t be more delighted to see Briana gain confidence with each passing day.
“She has genuinely blossomed into such a confident, joyful dog. And I can sense how much she cherishes life now, which is astonishing to witness that transformation,” Mackenzie communicated to GeoBeats Animals.
Each day presents a new opportunity to observe Briana evolve into an even more remarkable version of herself. She’s never felt happier and adores her Indiana home immensely!
There’s just one more goal that Mackenzie wishes to achieve, and that is locating Briana’s former companion (who may have been her sister) from the streets. When the occasion arises, she hopes to welcome her into their warm home, just as she embraced Briana!
