Pit Bull Saves Unconscious Owner From Oncoming Train
May 15, 2012 by Rachel Pawluk
8 year old pit bull named Lily pulled her 54 year old owner to safety from an oncoming train May 3rd. Christine Spain, Lily’s owner, was walking home from her boyfriends house when she then collapsed on to the train tracks. Christine Spain suffered no injuries, however Lily did. Lily fractured her pelvis and lost a leg to save her owner.
Lily was hit by the train to save her owners life, if that’s not loyalty then what is? This was a touching story that shows a pit bulls loyalty. ”My hope is that this story is going to get out and show what pit bulls are truly about.” said Boston Police Officer David Lanteigne. Hes right, hopefully this does show people that pit bulls aren’t these mauling machines that they are portrayed to be. Lily helped Spain decrease her drinking problem and kept her sober, Spain is emotionally scarred from this said her son (Lanteigne). Lily is in critical care and it will cost thousands of dollars for Lily’s physical therapy but good people around the country are raising money for Lily and around $40,000 has already been donated.

I read this story on the same day a judge in Maryland basically made a ruling that will now make it almost impossible for anyone in an apartment to own a pit bull or pit mix. I do hope you are rallying against this. It is absurd!!!!
That makes me so sad… I am rallying against this! I do not agree with it at all, its extremely unfair, if only people weren’t so ignorant towards them. Ignorant people should not be able to make decisions like that.
