Ripley James

Black and White old man from St Louis Missouri

Ripley James came into my life a throw away pet. He was 14 yrs old, 20 lbs underweight and heartworm positive. None of those things broke this dog's spirit. Ripley changed everyone's mind on what a Pit Bull is, he had a way of just sitting there and just listening to how bad or good your day was and could fix just about anything. Ripley had the heart and spirit of a true pit bull and showed it everyday. We lost RJ one dark day in Sept 2009. I never thought in two and a half short years I could love a dog as much as I loved RJ. He was my heart dog. People around the country mourned RJ's passing as he touched so many lives during his time with me. He was and still is the true picture of a Pit Bull
