After a really ruff start in life as an involuntary participant in the unspeakable Michael Vick dog fighting ring, Johnny Justice was rescued. Johnny was abused, beaten, and subjected to horrors we can’t even begin to imagine. But Johnny’s loving and sweet spirit shone through after going through therapy dog training and now lives a life of luxury with new owner, Cris Cohen.
Johnny and Cris have been advocates for the children’s reading program in Burlingame, California’s Paws for Tales. Unfortunately, just 18 months into the program, they ended their association with the program after Patricia Harding, librarian, banned pit bulls from her library without ever having met Johnny or Cris.
That didn’t stop Cris and Johnny Justice, though. Johnny was entered in a Facebook contest sponsored by GUND, a giant retailer of plush stuffed toys. Johnny won the coveted title of “Most Beautiful Dog in the Country” and will be immortalized as a new toy! The Johnny Justice toy will be available in 2013. Now THAT is definitely justice for Johnny!
