Steve here. This one is for the always sweet Cortney and her adorable dog Poe @poethepitbull. Here is Poes journey as told by Cortney: One cold December night in N.J., 2008 Poe was just a pup, estimated to be just shy of 1. His owners decided they no longer wanted him and threw him over the fence at the shelter. What they didn't know was that his leash got caught on the fence and he stood on his hind legs, front legs holding himself up on the fence, for 8+ hours so that he did not strangle himself to death. After shelter staff found him in the am they quickly cleaned him up and have him an exam. Other then being exhausted and having some leash burn on his neck he was perfect! Poe hated the shelter and really wanted to find a new home, he would cry & chew on his cage all the time, so much so that he broke his eye tooth one day. Not many people would chose to look at poe when coming to find a dog so they spotlighted him on a radio show....the rest is history. My fiancé heard it and immediately went online and looked a his pic and video and knew he was coming home to us. We already had two pitbulls at home so we knew we needed to make sure he would be the right fit. On our first visit we sat outside on the curb and waited for them to bring him out. Poe walked right over to Vin, put his front paws on his legs then his shoulders and started licking his face like crazy. All the workers were shocked, telling us this was the first person that Poe ever licked.....after 4 years there, yes! 4 YEARS!!!! He came home with us the next week and is the best, we really got lucky with an amazing dog. We are dumbfounded on why nobody adopted him before us but are also blessed that he was there long enough for us to get him. WE LOVE YOU POE!!!!@poethepitbull
