Gypsy, an American Pit Bull Terrier, is a regular staff member with regular hours at the Surgery Center in Port St. Lucie. Her photo ID badge reads: “Pup-Lick Relations.” Her job as you might guess, providing kisses on patients going in for surgery.
From the Palm Beach Post
“The friendly dog chases away worries for children awaiting a tonsillectomy and fears from adults needing hernia repairs or a routine colonoscopy.”
Just another great example of the sweet nature Pit Bulls can have. Congrats to Gypsy, a super duper Therapy Dog.

Thank you for posting such a wonderful story. I love pit bulls and anytime we can showcase their amazing ability to be sweet and lovely dogs, I think we should.
Dogs are so useful for therapy purposes that it makes me love and respect them even more!

Thank you for posting. We really need to educate the public on how pitbulls are actually VERY people friendly, and live to please their humans. They are dog aggressive by nature, not people aggressive. If trained appropriately, they are wonderful dogs.

Brilliant. People will never understand just how loving and playful an APBT is until they own or meet one. Glad there is at least a few good stories out there making it through the rest of the garbage about bullies.

This is the best!
Pup Lick Relations. Very original and I’ve known many a pit bull who could fit that description!
Good stuff.

Wow…this is an interesting story about the pit bulls. I think this story should be circulated widely among the Internet to deface the theory of mauling pit bulls…
