When Kiah was found back in 2016, she was chained outside in the icy cold. But a police officer rescued her, and soon, she got much more than a second chance in life.
She was given a golden opportunity to showcase her breed’s best side—by working side by side with police officers in New York.
Not only is Kiah the first pit bull to work as a police dog in New York State, she also passed her training with the highest marks.
Everyone, including her owner, Justin, was impressed.
“All pit bulls are not nasty and aggressive, Kiah is a perfect example of that. She loves everyone, is friendly and although she came from the terrible ills she showed in the end she has a heart of gold,” said her handler, Justin Bruzgul.
The members of her community feel safe with Kiah on the job. And now, Kiah is convincing the public that pit bulls are harmless and can help the community just like any other police dogs.
Currently, Kiah and Justin are focusing not only on crime prevention, but also on combating the prejudices that surround Kiah’s breed.
We wish them all the luck in the future!
