kellydesiree+FollowPittsburgh pit bull leads to a real-life rescueA pit bull in Pittsburgh just shattered stereotypes by leading a local man, Gary Thynes, to two people in desperate need of help. Instead of running away, this dog kept looking back, urging Gary to follow him through the park and down a hidden path—straight to an unresponsive man and woman.
