Tyka - A Quintessential Pit Bull

12/8/2015

It is always nice to hear from some of the amazing people I have met through my writing. Reading updates on the dogs I have written about and hearing how well they are doing just never gets old.

This week we will feature one of those dogs - a beautiful pittie girl named Tyka. Tyka was saved from the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota almost three years ago by Secondhand Hounds. She was found in very poor condition but remained sweet and loving. Eventually she found her way into the home and hearts of her forever family.

Tyka is a living, breathing testament to resilience and forgiveness and continues to change minds about bully breed dogs every day. You can read Tyka’s full story in “Loyalty Unleashed” and also an update in “Loyalty Unleashed II.” You can also follow her on her Facebook page, Tyka’s Tale.

Thanks to her mom Beth we have some wonderful pictures and videos to share of Tyka. Clearly she is a remarkable dog who is obliterating stereotypes every day.

This is Tyka about three weeks after she was rescued. As you can see she had a horrible case of Demodex mange but that did not stop her from being sweet and loving.

This is Beth's favorite picture of her with her two sisters. Bell is on the left and Bianca is in the middle.

She loves hanging out with her best friend Raven. They share everything!

​
She loves all animals and has zero prey drive. She is actually scared of bunnies in her backyard!
She has welcomed at least thirty to forty fosters into the family home and she is an amazing big sister.

She also loves her kitties - all four of them - but Chester is her favorite. He is almost 16 and has no teeth or front claws but he adores her back!
Picture
She isn't around babies/toddlers a lot but every time she is it is like she knows - a true nanny dog. This was literally her first time ever meeting a baby.
Picture
She met a friends daughter, Jill, for the first time about two minutes before this picture. Tyka sat for her and gave her the ball very gently every time Jill brought it back to her.
Picture
Tyka loves to visit the family's cabin. She and her cousin, Moxie, a Goldendoodle have a blast. This time foster Kirby joined in the fun.

And now for some fun videos of Tyka with various friends and family.

Sometimes it is really hard to get comfortable!

    About the Author

    Sue Torres is an animal advocate, rescue volunteer and proud owner of a previously abused pit bull who was slated to be destroyed for being tense and fearful in the shelter environment.

    Inspired by their resilience, devotion and ability to forgive, she now devotes herself to restoring the image of these once-esteemed and cherished family pets. She works tirelessly to promote the adoption of pit bulls in our nation's shelters and change perceptions about this extremely misunderstood and unjustly maligned breed.

    She lives in Connecticut with her rescued pit bull, Mickey. Her first book, Loyalty Unleashed was published in May, 2014 and is avsailable in paperback and e-book formats. Loyalty Unleashed II (her second book) is now available, also in paperback and e-book formats.
