The Humane Society impounded the chow

Amazing that the Chow is in good enough shape to be impounded.

That Chow must have been mistreated. I've owned Chows for 20 years, and never had a single problem with any of them. The one I have now, is a spoiled rotten princess...and is afraid of strangers. She barks, growls, then runs and hides behind her momma.

Some other hero pit bulls:

PIT BULL HERO
SGT. STUBBY (1917-1926)
This stray Pit Bull, of unknown descent, was found by Private John Robert Conroy on the campus of Yale University, in 1917, while Conroy was training for deployment to the European front of WWI. During the course of his stay at the camp with Pvt. Conroy, Stubby became familiar with all of the bugle calls, the drill marching routines, and even learned to give a dog's version of a salute. He would put his right paw on his right eyebrow when a salute was executed by others around him. Stubby's ability to salute struck a chord with the training camp commander and the dog was granted permission to remain with Private Conroy. Stubby, along with Pvt. Conroy eventually traveled to the frontlines with the 102nd Infantry Division. While serving overseas, Stubby was wounded in action twice, he saved his entire platoon by warning them of a poison gas attack and he single handedly captured a German spy. The commander of the 102nd used this last act of bravery to put Stubby in for a promotion to the ranks of the Noncommissioned Officers by awarding him the rank of Sergeant. He became the first 'Pit Bull' to be given rank in the United States Armed Forces. Sgt. Stubby served in 17 battles during his stay in Europe.

OFFICER POPSICLE
Officer Popsicle was rescued from a freezer during a drug raid. When Popsicle regained his strength, the attending shelter contacted US Customs canine-enforcement officer Sally Barr. It was a real long shot, but maybe Popsicle would qualify for the US Customs dog training school in Front Royal, VA. Of 500 dogs Barr has tested in the last three years, only 4 have made the cut. Popsicle did, and in February 1998 he graduated at the top of his
class and became a celebrated alumnus two months later by detecting a record contraband cache under a tractor-trailer.
