The puppy lived with the family since its birth in January. Since then, the relationship between the dog and the family only became stronger.
While the Richardsons mourn the loss of a beloved pet, they are grateful to Zeus for his faithfulness. «If you meet a pit bull that is aggressive, most likely, it’s because it is improperly addressed,» said Gary. «If properly treat him, he will give his life for you, and I owe him the life of his son.»
