Betsy’s owner only wanted one thing from her: that she fights. However, this was not something she was inclined to do. She was kind and gentle. As a result, she was used as a bait dog. Her injuries were so severe by the time she arrived at the rescue that the medical team was unsure whether she would survive.
She required extensive therapy, which is why the infection was their biggest concern because of all the wounds she had sustained.

Through her suffering, Betsy clung on. She desired to live. And for this she was grateful. She wanted to survive and flourish, despite having been utilized and abused. Perhaps she realized that a happy existence was possible. Dogs have an incredible capacity for empathy.

It took months of treatment and eight operations for the courageous dog. She faced each day as a brave individual. Betsy never gave up hope, as the video mentions. And while she was healing, she started to open her heart to humans as well. People have been nasty in the past, but now that she had seen new people around her who were not monsters from her history, she realized it was time to change things.

Betsy’s tale is proof that despite a horrible history of abuse, it is feasible to overcome and yet be an excellent family pet. Pit Bulls are more likely than any other breed to face prejudice. Unfortunately, they’re the most frequent in shelters owing to their bad rap.
