Don't let the unassuming look on this dog's face fool you. She's a history maker, even if she's still trying to sort out the difference between leather shoes and chew toys. 'Joliette' was recently selected to be the first ambassador for pit bull type dogs in the adoption wards of the Cleveland Animal Protective League, the largest humane organization in the state of Ohio. She found a quick home last week, which brought an end to the decades-long ban on pit bull adoptions from this influential shelter. Her departure opened a kennel to another square headed dog, and signals a change as welcome as the spring temperatures. The pup doesn't seem to understand why people from California to New York were dabbing their eyes up when news hit that she'd gone home ... Political milestones are such human inventions. Welcome to warm laps, tug toys and a lifetime's worth of family photos, little darling. And thank you CAPL for getting her there.
