[cynatnite]

If you're feeling shortchanged on sweetness and hope, here's the antidote.

Cadence the pit bull was apparently used as bait for dogfights. She was scared, scarred and exhausted when Hope for Paws approached her in a dark alley in Los Angeles.

Watch, weep and celebrate as this indomitable four-legged cutie makes a remarkable recovery with the help of some two-legged friends.

Cadence now seems pretty comfortable with the viral attention. Her story led to a personal appearance Sunday, according to Hope for Paws' Facebook page.

Everybody loves a comeback.

1. People who organize and/or attend dogfights are sick excuses for human beings.

Such a beautiful puppy.

3. Had to explain

What a baitdog is to my partner just now. it is truly horrible that anyone would ever look at this trusting soul and choose to torture her.

5. I had never heard of dogfighting bait before this. n/t

6. I don't think

Most decent people could even imagine the existence of something so horrific before being told.

I just find it particularly depressing to explain this type of stuff to someone who didn't know about it already (especially if it's someone I love).

2. There is something wrong with my eyes.

They're leaking.
