So when you Google search “pit bull” you get a plethora of stories of pit bull attacks, stories about pit bulls being dangerous, etc etc. The media is biased and anything pit bull related will generate hundreds of news stories if the dog is seen in a bad light.

You don’t see the stories of heroic and noble pit bulls unless you dig, because the general public doesn’t care about good pit bulls, they thrive on the grossly inaccurate image of the bloodthirsty savage pitty.

Enter Max, the pit bull whose guardian was being robbed by armed gunmen. The robbers opened fire and grazed owner Osmar Persisco in the forehead.

Max had seen enough. Nobody was going to attack his owner and best friend and get away with it. He took off like a rocket and chased the gunmen, taking two bullets in the chest and one in the leg.

Max lived, and his guardian, Osmar Persisco, was saved by this hero dog’s bravery.

Max, thank you for your selfless devotion and your fantastic bravery in the face of death. For your astounding valor we induct you into the Pit Bull Heroes Hall of Fame. GO MAX!
