The Face of Dogfighting: One Dog's Incredible Journey

His name was Stallone. Rescued during a dogfighting raid, this pitbull terrier won the love of everyone around him. The heartbreaking story of this victim sheds light on the extreme cruelty he, and other dogs like him, endured - fight after fight.

After watching the video, please check out our entry in the Telly Awards and give this video a thumbs up to stop dogfighting and other cruelties:

It just made me cry :(

Jeez, dogs aren't freeking Pokemons who we can let fight with each other!... Look at those gentle eyes of Stallone, even after what his horrible owners did to him, he was still able to fully trust the people of HSUS and giving them a kiss.

Why won't we put the dog fight people into a ring with each other and put some handcuffs on them and the only thing they can do is bite each other... let's see how FUN that will be....

Thanks to all you people who help these animals,and thanks to all concerned who bust these operations.These people need the severest of punishments possible,24 months does not cut it in my opinion,and they should foot the bill for all the Medical Expertise to work on these poor animals after. I genuinely would not hold my self responsible for the carnage that would ensue if I came face to face with one of these people,they are scum and should not be associated with Humans.God rest little Stalone

We have the same problem in Ireland, i have taken part in a couple raids and i always just come home stay alone for a little while and sob. im a 23 year old man and if seeing these animals being brutalised, the smell of their infected wounds doesnt reduce you to tears you are inhuman,

what i too found most shocking was the willingness to be loved from these animals, a few would be mentally unstable but alot want nothing more than to be held, to show love and be loved

[bogfish33]

To the guy that saved him and gave him a little bit of love and respect that he deserved , i commend you . Too the person who did this , i give you HELL !!!!!

I live in Missouri

thankyou all of you who made an attempt to save stallone i bet you made him really happy and please keep trying to save these amazing dogs and give them a better life

[1864vampirelover]

Wow i just balled my eyes out. I love all animals but im a big dog lover and pit bulls being my favorite breed absolutely breaks my heart that this happens everyday. In my oppinion since that dog lost his life that motherfucker that did that to him should get life in prison not just 24 months. I swear humanity can be so cruel it makes me sick. That's why if i had to chose between my own family and my 5 year old pit mix cassie i'd chose her...

This video is brilliant, thank you for posting! We do need an end to this.

It makes me chuckle the way that people are afraid of a certain breed of dog because of things like this happening. Time for people to face facts. All dogs are what their owners bring them up to be. Like children, dogs pick up on their enviroment and do what they can to make their owners happy, so they get rewards.

The punishment given to this dog owner isn't hard enough i think.
