An Advocate Is Born | Season 1, Episode 5

A law with more questions than there are answers for

In this fifth episode of the inaugural season, I uncover two invaluable lessons that force me to forget everything I thought I knew about pit bull dogs, and the reason for laws that target their ownership. 

An Advocate Is Born” is the realization that ones ability at remaining objective can easily be corrupted due to potentially problematic conflicts of interest.

But, it was an expected transition for someone seeking a community in which they belong, and becoming a pit bull advocate did exactly that. Because, the plight of pit bull dogs now became personal with the adoption of Preston.
