"hey, pittbulls aint mean!"
(A guest article from Kristina Billini, age: 9)

FORT LEE, N.J. (USA) — At 5:00 am i was awaken by my dog koko barking and whining and then hamster squeaking (i had 10 hamster) so i checked the cage

koko was growling and barking at the darkness of the cage...
i just said "quiet, nothing is there!" but my pittbull puppy didn't stop keep on making noises he then headed for my closet he took all of the shoes out and two were tipped over

my Mom woke up and didn't see the poor cold baby hamster and then boom it died

the other one i picked up
i thought she was dead her name Cream...she started to squeak when i put her on a tissue i notice she alive my heart pounding i returned her to her nest

the weird thing are she didn't die...my dog knows when his animals friend's kids are in danger although one died and the other one is alive this is the rest of the story......

But then after the mother hamster was looking for her dead child I said to her "IM so sorry but it is dead nurse the 0thers."

i know my dogs sweet but this is a miracle.....


Seven-month-old "Koko", a Pit Bull pup, sensed disaster at 5:00 in the morning and alerted 9-year-old Kristina Billini that two of her hamsters were dying.  After being led to the closet by the frantic pooch, Kristina and her mother found the two lost babies.  Sadly, it was too late for one, but they were just in time to save "Cream".

Editor's note: I think we have a future Scoop staff writer on our hands (if she can take the pay cut)!

There is no doubt that "Pit Bull Terriers" (also known as "Staffordshire Terriers", "Staffies" and "American Staffordshire Terriers") are among the most widely misunderstood, mistreated and persecuted beings on this planet.

Very few people recognize how gentle and affectionate these pooches really are, despite the barrage of sensational headlines we endure, screaming about how all young children are at mortal risk from these creatures and that "These dogs are bred to be killers. They're as worthless as a mosquito," (as uttered by Madison Township Municipal Judge Michael Cicconetti last month, according to a report in the Plain Dealer).

Well, if it takes a 9-year-old girl from Fort Lee, New Jersey to infuse a little wisdom into the madness, then so be it.

Thanks Kristina!  We'll make it a point to spread your message to as many people as we can: "hey, pittbulls aint mean!"
