YEAH !!!! VILLALOBOS!!!!!!
This show is awesome. Its great to see such dedication and selflessness by the entire staff at Villalobos. Thank god for people like this. What an inspiration to others and we should all take note. Our judicial system should take note on what this facility is all about. Not only helping dogs but also helping people. Let Aren Jackson out so he can continue to do good with this program.

As a private person in Trenton who rescues Pit Bulls one at a time, I was impressed with the attempt to control the dogs and adoption process. I am not impressed with the diva daughters who will supposedly take over for thier overworked and exhausted mother. The Parolees have isue Parolees have so anyone tuning in looking for a Pit Bull version of "The Dog" will be disappointed.

Loving Pitbulls and Parolees
I love watching pitbulls and parolees because it gives me some sort of prospective on what people do everyday of the week and what other people do to the dogs.

Kids need to know whats out there, what people do to our beloved family pets! Watch this show you will shed tears for Tia, the dogs and the cons.
I love this show because Tia is an inspiration to anyone who has struggled in life. The dog are very misunderstood because of a few bad owners who in the media are looked over but the dog is NOT! Society deems the dog as bad, vicious but all along we are not looking at who is truly responsible for a few that just do what they were trained to do. Any dog can be a loaded gun with the wrong person. As for the ex convicts they do get a bad rap in society even if it is a small crime like petty theft in our society once you go bad you can't go good. Our mentality is of an ignorant society. I dare any one to spend one day with my ex convict and they will see he is just like you or me. I believe any animal can be transformed by the right people. I personally have 3 animals who were horribly miss treated by their previous owners and all 3 are well adjusted parts of my family. My Lab has the worst story of abuse but he bounced back because of love, training, and constant care! So yes they can be rehabilitated. Any animal can be dangerous after any training even a Yorkie. Responsibility of the owner is the key!

I think it is about time someone has the courage to rell the world the truth about this wonderful breed of dog. Yes it does show graphics pictures of what some of these dogs went thru....."a picture is worth a thousand words" after all. Yes, some of the parolees talk about their past, but all are determined to change. If you prefer to live in a fantasy world where everything is perfect then by all means skip this show. If, on the other hand, you live among the more open minded of us and would like your children to be raised in the real world then I feel this show is a must. There are people doing horrible things to innocent animals all over the world. To turn a blind eye to it is nothing short of criminal in my opinion. How will the cycle of cruelty and violence towards animals ever be stopped if no one is willing to look at the results?
