� e world of animal rescue is not for the faint of heart. In this business, you get to see the very best that humanity has to off er, and sadly, sometimes you see the very worst as well. To be a success, one must apply the “glass half full” type of mentality through all walks of this life. Fortunately, there are so many good samaritans out there, from so many diff erent places, and often where you least expect to fi nd them.
Brodie and his story is an example of the great expanse of that spectrum of humanity. Brodie is a sweet, happy-go-lucky puppy who didn’t get the best start in his young life. He was found alone on the streets, beaten and bro-ken, and taken to a local animal shelter. Upon inspection by a veterinarian, he was found to be suff ering a fractured jaw. But, that’s not all; the evidence was conclusive that the injuries he suff ered came at the hands of a heartless human. From that awful side of the spectrum, however, Brodie has since catapulted to the opposite extreme. Angel City Pit Bulls was alerted of his plight and quickly came to his rescue.
