This amazing story of how a social Pit Bull befriended an aggressive dog is an example of how well this can work out!
Ginger is a very social pit bull who has always had lots of friends. She had a park she frequently visited where she played with all kinds of dogs. Many people had complimented her ownere on her ability to make friends so easliy. This was especially impressive because of her breed and the often unearned reputation of being aggressive for which the breed is know.
Unfortunately, her social life had to reset because her owner, Kassidi, had to move. Ginger would have to start all over in building friendships with other dogs. Kassidi had no idea what kinds of dogs would live nearby, if any. They would just have to do the best they could with whatever the dog neighbor situation turned out to be in their new neighborhood.

Fortunately, Kassidi was pretty insistent because Ginger needed a friend. She was lonely and couldn’t stand being in the house all day. The two neighbors tried to encourage the two dogs to befriend each other once more.
The Good News

Ginger became Chloe’s first and only dog friend. They’re always eager to see each other. It got to a point where the two dogs would alternate between waiting in front of each other’s home. Moreover, they both became more active and physically healthier because of their friendship.
Chloe was an older dog, yet she moved and acted like a younger dog because of Ginger. Similarly, Ginger’s life also changed because of Chloe. She no longer hated her new environment because she had something to look forward to every day.
