    I had my own Sherman. His name was goose. Great big gray and white pit. He had been a bait dog because he wouldn’t fight. Then some people got him and acted like they saved him but they beat him and threw him down basement stairs. By the time we got him he would barely bark. But he was 125 lbs of love. With a 27 inch head. After we had him for about 5 years goose had a seizure. He passed with us all around him. Hugging him. Telling him we loved him. I miss him.

We've had her since January 2016, but that bit of her history we cannot seem to make disappear in her mind. We adopted a puppy a couple days after we got her since she was So Lonely & missing for her 6 puppies that had been found with her on the street. Puppies all got adopted, but we wanted & needed her (Merry). Now she has a perpetual puppy with our Jack Russell mix (Pippin) that she mothers, plays with & fusses at.

I used to tell him that if he was worried he was in trouble or some noise scared him. I'm a bigger guy, and a former police officer and veteran, but two kind neighbors came out to comfort me as I held him and cried in front of the house. Seeing this video brought that back but I'm thankful for it. He and Sherman are worth the tears.

      I am crying too!! I adopted a little female Pittie that looks a lot like Sherman....right down to the little nubby, badly cut ears. "Brie" (Bree) wasn't even a year old and was scheduled for euthanasia...I couldn't imagine not adopting her. She had scars all over her stomach, chest and inside of her thighs...a bait dog...smart enough to climb a fence to get away from her abusers. She was found wandering the streets...picked up by animal control and sent to a rescue group.
      She just turned 2 and is the sweetest dog...loves my cats, my 2 Chihuahuas; and at just 40lbs, she loves sparring with my 110lb Anatolian Shepherd who never had a good playmate until Brie came along. Brie also loves my chickens and goats...now, if she gets the chance she'll climb the backyard fence to visit the goats...but I keep an eye on her just because there's always a chance she'll head the other direction, down the drive and somehow escape my little farm.
      I cried watching this video, because I've seen Brie cower and roll on her back for even a minor reprimand, so I try to overlook her mistakes. I let her know all the time that I love her and think she's so smart and amazing, even after chewing her new bed into a thousand pieces. I don't think I'll ever understand how some 'humans' can subject such innocent animals to terrible cruelty, leading to so much pain, suffering, and too often, death. Sherman and Brie, and so many others just want to be loved. I can't imagine how painful it's been to lose Sherman...very heartbreaking. I'm glad the end of his life was full of love and protection!

      @@cryp0g00n4 Dogs were bred to love men, it isn't natural. They are the result of the ideal of love which most men possess for friends and family. A love which is unconditional, warm, sincere, and self sacrificing. The dog is the embodiment of the love in the hearts of most men.
      Men shaped the dog in the image of our own hearts. They're man's best friend because we made them to be. Because so few people are really worthy of our friendship, we needed to create something which was.
      The world is not a nice place. It shaped men for hunting and war. Our species would not exist if men loved as dogs love. You can only afford unconditional love when all of your needs are provided for.
      Besides, women never choose or never stay with nice men. When given the choice, they'll pick the violent criminal over the nice guy -- all other traits being equal. Our species would've ended long ago if they didn't. Either that, or we'd still be climbing in trees. That's the way of human sexual selection and it always has been.
      It's because of war and female hypergamy that we evolved. Without those evolutionary pressures, the brain would never have expanded and we wouldn't be here asking about "unconditional love" -- we wouldn't have the brain to arrive at the concept.
      There's no unconditional love among unrelated humans because there can't be. There would be no humans at all if there were no selection pressure in evolution to drive the necessity of intelligence in our species. Nature doesn't gift a species out of kindness. She gifts it by killing off the maladaptive genes of our kind -- one way or another. Only the most adaptive survive. That's the price of every trait which is possessed by every animal.
      This universe is a universe of scarcity. No matter the resource, it will be scarce in some environments or all of them. Humans evolved to cope with that scarcity by competition -- in which all animals engage. No animal in nature possesses unconditional love. Even with pairs of lifetime pair-bonded species we find they've been stepping out on each other -- DNA tests confirmed. Unconditional love is the romantic fiction invented by humans during times when humans believe there's no scarcity -- though there is always scarcity, it's just that sometimes you become isolated from scarcity over space and/or time.
      The short answer though, is there isn't unconditional love because there can't be. It can't naturally occur in this universe. You can create it, but it doesn't arise spontaneously, it has to be bred and then conditioned in dogs.

It's huge when you see that turning point from fear into whole hearted trust. Dogs that get a second chance at life are some of the most grateful creatures in the world. He's pulled me out of so much truama just by being himself. Love this story.

    This video outright made me cry. My husband came into the room looking at me and asked what was wrong. I could barely speak for crying. This is such a lovely story about people who loved this big old dog so much and it's both happy and sad. I'm glad Sherman knew love in his life before his life ended. I'm glad Sherman met people who may have thought Pit Bulls are bad dogs and he proved that wrong. God bless you Sherman and God bless your famliy for loving you like they did.

      @@queenjenna2696 The cable TV channel NatGeo Wild broadcast a show in Fall 2019 called “Dog Impossible,” starring this dog trainer/behavioral expert named Matt Beisner. He specialized in the “rehabilitation” of dogs that had been labeled as aggressive (often via neighbor complaints, but sometimes just because of willful ignorance & plain spite!), and in many/most of the cases shown, they had attacked and/or bitten people (usually their owners first!) and/or other pets. Almost every show, as Matt was agreeing to help a new dog and set of owners, he would state: “There is no such thing as a ‘bad dog’, only a dog that’s been trained & rewarded for fighting (often for years), or one who is acting out of extreme fear & anxiety, usually due to being beaten & severely mistreated.” I ultimately would understand 2 messages from watching his extremely loving & patient methods to (successfully, of course, since it *is* a TV show) rehab the dogs, many of them pit bulls (pure-bred or mixed): #1) dogs, like dysfunctional and delinquent people, only get to be labeled “impossible” when they’ve been forced/made that way by their human overlords; and #2) the corollary that there may not truly be “bad people,” only those forced early on to be, or eventually made into, violent criminals and/or degenerates. It was good food4thought, and I missed that show over the year of COVID (March 2020-2021).

      For some of us, who have never known love, having a creature that loves to wake up to see your face, is the only warmth we have in this world. That's why we cry over them like they are our children, because they are. They are our light in this world, our love and sometimes the only reason why we wake up in the morning. I have a two year old pitbull I adopted. I know she'll have a long, loving and healthy life with me, but I cry, just about every time I think about that in fifteen, twenty years I'd have to let her go and my heart breaks into a million tiny pieces. Sometimes I wish that if she has to go, that I go with her because I don't know how to breathe without my beautiful girl. When you finally know love, true, unconditional, non-judgemental love, love you don't have to earn, losing that is so hard.
