“We Don’t Find The Dogs We Want;
The Dogs We Need Find Us.”
About “Once In A Lifetime”
“Once In A Lifetime” is a documentary series chronicling the special relationship between a dog and his human, told through the lens of the ongoing, controversial pit bull dog debate.
Dogs are widely considered (hu)man’s best friend. Through history they have served a number of purposes – assisting us in both working roles (farming, hunting, etc.) as well as for companionship.
But, since the 1980s, one breed or type of dog has been singled-out in political wars and declared a danger to the public if not regulated. They are said to be the most common dog found in dogfighting raids, and the primary villain of laws called breed specific legislation.
The dogs we are talking about are often simply referred to as – pit bulls.

They were taken to the local humane society where they were kept as evidence for the case. Things were grim for dogs like them in those days, and especially for dogs who came with suspected dogfighting backgrounds.
