Tell Us About the Moment When You Knew that You Two Were Meant for Each Other.

He was a death row dog that was pulled last minute. He came to my work (a spay/neuter clinic) that day and it was love at first sight. I spent the whole day visiting him in his kennel. He would put his paws in my hand for me to hold and I knew he was mine.

How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?

I’ve always wanted to rescue a pitbull (bully breed type). The media is so biased and never tells the whole truth when it comes to them. I had met plenty and knew they were sweet, goofy animals. Orion has proved that over and over. He really made me want to fight even more for the breed. He’s changed my life for the better, and even changed minds around us. He’s my best friend and snuggle buddy.
