Wife Fears Pit Bull Will Hurt Baby And Wants Him Done But Pit Bull Loves Baby Strongly

Sometimes it’s difficult to get over the negative misconceptions and stigmas that are prevalent in society. Whether it’s about animals, people, or even companies, it’s hard to go against what so many people are saying, but often times, you will realize that you for every person that says something negative, there are just as many that say positive things.
When Greg Heynen met his wife’s Pit Bull / Labrador mix dog, he didn’t know what to think. He was initially scared of having a dog around his newborn baby, but the following story really illustrates how his heart suddenly changed.
This story really got to me, and if it got to you, then please SHARE it with every dog lover you know.
My wife and I owned two dogs that we had owned before we met and brought into the marriage. Her dog was a pit bull/labrador cross named Zack, and he hated me. When our daughter was born, I said to the wife, ‘If he so much as nips at the baby, he’s gone.’
We brought our daughter home in a car seat, and both dogs sniffed and licked her, tails wagging. I had to pull Zack away from her because he wouldn’t stop licking her. Zack immediately became my daughter’s protector,and when she was lying on a blanket on the floor, he always had to have one foot on the blanket.
Zack loved my daughter immensely, and when she became a little older always walked her to bed, and then slept on the bed with her. He somehow knew whenever it was time to go upstairs, and he would wait at the foot of the stairs for her, and then follow her up to bed.
Zack was poisoned by some dirt bag neighbor kids, and we had one of the worst days of our lives. Watching my daughter say goodbye to him as he laid still on the kitchen floor, my wife and I were both sobbing.
At 8:00 that night, my daughter walked to the stairs to go to bed. At that moment, all three of us realized what was about to happen. After 5 years, she didn’t have Zack to accompany her upstairs. She looked at her mother and me with a look of horror and panic.
It was at that moment that my dog, who loved my daughter dearly, but was not in Zack’s league, stood up, walked over to her, and nudged her with his head. He put his foot on the stairs, and looked up at her. They walked up to bed, with my daughter holding tightly to his neck.
For the next 6 years, until he died, Sam waited for her by the stairs each night.
