Michigan Town Lifts Pit Bull Ban After Heroic Pup Protects Owner From Domestic Abuse

[okaawhatever]

Isis the pit bull is credited with protecting her owner, Jaimie Kraczkowski, from an abusive boyfriend -- and right after, got kicked out of town due to the city's ban on dogs of her kind.

Some two months later, and after a massive public outcry, Hazel Park, Michigan, is lifting its proscription on blocky-headed pups.

"We are really excited," said Courtney Protz-Sanders, director of Michigan's Political Action Committee for Animals, a group that advocated for this change. "We're happy."

The city is no longer enforcing its pit bull prohibition, and is allowing residents to register their pits, while alternative dog laws are under consideration.

2. The pit bull's "blocky head" is one of my favorite things about the breed--along

with the goofy smile and deep loyalty.

I have cats, not dogs, but I adore dogs, too, and I have many precious pit bull friends.

3. Until another pit bull mauls a child to death who is playing in their own backyard

Just watch.
