Despite their past lives where they were terribly mistreated by humans and forced to fight other dogs, Vito and Maggy are very lovable Pit Bulls. When they meet up, it really shows their true gentle nature. It’s almost like they know they have some common ground and can relate to each other because of it.

“They both truly had the heart of a champion. They both decided to shed the mental scars of an old life & move forward in a world that had given them every reason to throw in the towel. Some of you have followed the history of both canines, some of you are meeting these 2 for the first time. Both of these canines have shown a true will to thrive & enhance the lives of all they touch,” William J. Bellottie, DBC President & Co-Founder of Detroit Bully Corps, said in a statement.
