Animal Control Officer Rescues Pit Bull…And Then Adopts Him

Eagan, Minnesota - When Eagan Animal Control Officer Bob Kent recently was dispatched on a call, he had no idea that the dirty, emaciated stray he picked up would move from his truck... into the city impound... and then his home. Kent has rescued dozens of dogs, but there was just something special about Woody, a young pit bull with an undeniably sweet disposition. And as it would happen, the timing was pretty good too.

"We put our dog down early August," Bob explained. "We were not so much in the market for one, but we did have a vacancy at home."

Kent kept checking on Woody, and it soon became apparent the two were destined to be permanent pals. "He came in, he was dirty, he was starving, he was sick... but I just knew. I guess you can't really put it into words, It's just a feeling you get for him. He (Woody) found a place in our hearts, as well as our home."
