Diesel the pit bull had never been socialized and was kept in abusive conditions his whole life. When Craig Fields, the founder of the pit bull rescue organization New York Bully Crew, was contacted by the ex-girlfriend of the dog’s abuser, asking for help, he knew it would be an uphill battle.
Fields first met Diesel after he received a call on his hotline of an abusive owner, who had tried to surrender the dog at a shelter where he might be put down. The owner’s ex-girlfriend had sympathy for the neglected dog but couldn’t take him in her home as she already had two pit bulls.
