The Story Of Kapone

This is Kapone. He is a Pitbull mix who didn't always have the best life. We lived next door to him and his previous owners. He lived in the backyard tied to a leash about 2 or 3 feet long since he was a puppy. He often ran out of water and didn't get any back for a while and he didn't get fed fresh food unless he ate the stale food in his bowl. He got inside and outside of the garage from a hole to let him in and out. His yard was filthy. I cleaned it a few times but the space was small so it got dirty quickly. He was always shedding in a weird way. I would try to brush him but within a few swipes of the brush it was full. He was going blind in his left eye because he had entropion. Entropion is a medical condition where the eyelid (usually the bottom one) flips in and the eyelash constantly rubs against the eye. He always had goo in and around his eye and he had to live with it until one day he ran away. His previous owners did not want to pay to get him back so they didn't know where he was. But I had moved months before he ran away. One of my friends who lived close to him told me over a month after he ran away. I told my parents as soon as I could and they went online. They went onto a website for an animal shelter closest to where he lived. Then they found a picture. We matched the picture together and they looked the same. We then went to the shelter to visit him and he remembered us and was happy to see us! We told them his real name was Kapone. Then we found out he was in the shelter for over a month. We told him not to put him to sleep because we would adopt him if nobody else did. We continued to visit him and trying to find an owner for him. Then we talked my grandpa into keeping him. We payed for everything. He even got his eye fixed. He spent one night with us then in the next afternoon we took him to my grandpas house.

Kapone now lives with my grandpa. He is very happy! He has been trained, he can go inside and outside, he has a doghouse outside although he needs to wear a leash because he will run away. He even has another dog friend to keep him up and going! We visit him whenever we are around and he is now leading a better, happier, and healthier life!
