Pit bulls are the most misunderstood dogs out there, while most dogs are considered sweet, loving, and adorable friends, pit bulls are stereotyped to be aggressive, bad-behaving, and dangerous dogs that you should definitely not trust around your kids or anyone you love.

This stereotype has led to pit bulls being mishandled by owners who do not train them properly or take the time to socialize with them. Dogs will behave according to the way they were trained, so it's never the dog's fault.

A Pit Bull who was almost going to give up on life was found living in a camp for the homeless. Saint's body got weaker by the day and multiple parasites ravaged his skin, the constant pain was too much for him to handle so he grew tired of suffering every day for nothing.

It was quite visible in his appearance and body language that he was not willing to go through more of that pain and suffering. Saint was discovered by a woman named Heather who couldn't stop herself from helping him.

Heather took him home as a hospice dog. The main goal was to make Saint feel comfortable and surrounded by people who love him in his final days.

Saint could not even get himself to eat when he first arrived in Heather's home.

His body was so weak that he could not get himself up and needed Heather's help.

"He had every parasite you could imagine."

Saint was in constant pain and it was obvious that he was ready to give up the fight.

Heather tried her hardest to convince him that she was by his side and "he showed [her] he wanted to fight."

He didn't care much about being petted or interacting with any of the people around him. But Heather kept on pushing and giving him more hope!

Little by little, Saint started getting used to being around Heather and her family.

Their unconditional love and care compelled him to join their family.

Heather and her family eventually became his "pack of dogs" and he even started eating more food.

Saint embraced the world with open arms and began connecting with it once again.

He left the past behind focused on the present and he is now thriving with his new family!

He's even a spoiled little brat now, according to Heather.

What Heather did is truly inspiring and we should all learn from her kindness and generosity. She inspired a desperate dog that already lost all hope to keep on going and reminded him that there are many things in this world worth living for, one of them being a loving family.

Saint must have had a pretty tough life before being rescued by Heather. The state he was found in proves that he was living in some of the worst conditions imaginable.

Thankfully, we have a happy ending and Saint got a loving family that will always treat him with respect, love, and dignity.
