Just as there are so many people who treat their pets well, there are also so those who abuse innocent animals. Dog fighting is a very cruel thing to do to dogs but there are people dedicated to rescue and help these dogs live a good life. Hansel is an example of an abused pit bull who got a second chance at life and is now thriving.
