Last Friday, a pit bull happened to wander up to the home of an animal hospital employee. The pit bull has since been named Mama Jade and her rescuer posted her story on Craiglist with the subject, "Your pitbull found me and I'm not giving her back" (H/T Gawker).

"Signs of the abuse she had somehow escaped, riddled her body," she writes. "The fresh bite marks on her muzzle, the scars that covered her body...She was obviously tied up with ropes that cut their way into her skin...The obvious signs that she had been bred, relentlessly, time after time."

The post goes on the explain that her teeth had been pulled out and those that were left were filed down. "You did this so she couldn't fight back. You did this so she couldn't injure any dogs you had trained to fight, when you threw her in there with them," the ad says.

But all Mama Jade wanted was love. "The first night, I stayed up with her and every time I'd move, she'd get up and look at me with worry stricken eyes. She didn't want me to leave her."

It continues, "Mama lets you get right up in her face. In fact, she LOVES it. She'll give you slobbery kisses and nuzzle your face with love. We're all amazed at how trusting of humans she is. Dogs however, completely terrify her…But who can blame her?"
