This is the type of dog that when treated right, will do anything for you.

DALLAS - A Texas family says their pet pit bull helped protect their missing 3-year-old after she wandered away and got lost in the woods.
Little Zoey Smith is bubbly and chatty. It’s hard to tell she survived the six-hour ordeal alone with only her dog Brownie.
“I’m so glad that we found her and that she came back because that usually doesn’t happen. And, she’s my angel and I wouldn’t know what to do without her,” said Stephanie Smith, the girl’s mother.
The toddler was playing outside Thursday afternoon at her grandmother’s house in rural Van Zandt County. She told investigators she wandered away because she was following Brownie who was chasing a raccoon.
She describes going through water.
“I got wet and I was cold,” Zoey said.
A team of volunteers and law enforcement agents kept up an intense search after the sun went down. Zoey was found just after 7 p.m. about a mile and a half away from where she was last seen.
Jason Smith and his son had jumped on their four-wheelers to help search their property.
“I walked up to her and I said 'Hey' a little bit loud and she just kind of looked at me. And she said, ‘I’m cold. I’m cold.’ She just kept saying that. That’s what I think she was saying. And for a split second I saw a grin on her face,” he said.
“I was happy, happy,” Zoey said.
Jason Smith said Zoey’s dog was very protective of her and at first wouldn’t even let him get close. He points out it was clear Brownie never left her side.

A positive pit bull story well it's about time that's probably the first one in the 2 years I have been a member, so they are not all maniacal baby killers? errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr nope.

On a different note the mother of the child sounds thick as fuck, I don't know what makes me say that she just does.

Thanks for a great story. It's amazing how quick the media is to whore out stories about pit bull attacks but reluctant to share a positive story like this. Thanks for posting.

Great story This is why I love dogs

Dogs are the best <3 The violent ones always make the news. But one has to do something remarkable for them to make the news and even then its not broadcasted like the violent stories

Proof that treating these dogs with love and affection will cause them to be good pets. Also, this seems to be caused by the lack of watching the child.

Wonderful to read a positive story about a pit bull.

Seriously? The dog leads the child away and gets praise? And where were the effing stupid fuck parents? They let a dog be in charge of a baby? And what about when the dog gets hungry? nom nom nom? Like this blood stained dog?

"Oh but that's not a pit bull!!"
Oh but this one is...

"Well it doesn't happen all the time and not all pit bulls are bad.... It's just bad owners... the dogs aren't bad..."
Seriously? Who gives a fuck? Then why aren't pit bull owners pushing for stricter dog laws and pushing for legislation to restrict the ownership of large dog breeds that are potentially violent and aggressive? Why not push for testing of owners and dogs? Why? Because they don't give a shit how many kids die or are disfigured. Their dog is special and would never do such a thing. Until it does.

As I stated in a previous post I wouldn't leave ANY dog alone with a young child as I believe any dog can SNAP for no apparent reason regardless of size so shall we ban them all?

Not at all. Just make the city responsible for attacks on city property. Make owners doubly responsible. Dog attacks should result in criminal charges even if it is an "accident.". And smaller dogs are not near as dangerous by the way. Also Pit bulls top the list for dangerous dogs. They are the very worst.
