That's how I came upon my pitbull, Angel. She followed me around the neighborhood one winter when I was jogging and didn't relent.
Only later did I find out that her original owners had left her to die since she had parvovirus.
Come to think of it, that's how I found my 3rd dog, Patches! Same story. I was jogging and lo and behold a puppy was traversing the streets. Later on she too caught parvo. I'm still not entirely sure where she got it from.
It was both. Angel's parvo was disastrous. At the worst of it, she stayed with the vet and about 4 days later she came home and I gave her an IV bag of medication every 6 hours.
Patches' case wasn't as devastating as Angel's was. The worst of it was weight loss.
Today they're both very healthy and active pitbulls.
Housebreaking Patches was a true test of my patience though. For about a solid month my carpet had new gifts sprinkled upon them every day.
Has this ever happened to you?

lovely story, did you have to nurse them back with the parvo or was a vet involved?

Yes, that one is the 3rd. Something tells me it won't have to go through that.
On the other comment did you mean my horns or his FBI hat?

Tsk! Remember the profile pic? There were three letters printed on little Loki's hat.
My horns you say? Well you can borrow sometime if you like. I don't need it to know I'm a god (of mischief).
