Monster

Meet Monster

"When Monster was a puppy he was the runt of the litter, and his hind legs did not work. At three months old, Monster was scheduled to be euthanized, but a vet technician offered to take him in to rehabilitate his legs, and then set him up for adoption. I was carpooling with a co-worker, and we stopped at his house because he needed to let his dogs out. As he let them out, out came Monster whose hind legs didn’t work. My co-worker’s wife was the vet technician who had saved his life. She had given him the name Monster because of his “monster attitude” not to give up. At the time Monster was so malnourished he fit in the palm of my hand. He was cute yet very helpless: so I decided to take him in. During the next five years, he went from several ounces, to a hulking 92 pounds of muscle. He is a hybrid between a Rottweiler and American Pit Bull, also known as an American Mastiff. Monster loves jogging, Jeep rides, hiking, and playing with his tug rope. At times he thinks he is still a puppy and climbs up to cuddle in my lap. Not only is he a fearless protector, but a cherished family member.
