Angels come in many forms. Some live with us for years as constant, treasured companions while others are only in our lives for brief but magical periods of time. One such angel came in the form of a pit bull named Sweetie, whose story is beautifully portrayed in the Unexpected Pit Bull 2014 Calendar.

Sweetie was lovingly adopted by her amazing foster family with the knowledge that her congenital renal dysplasia would mean a shorter than

average life span. Even though the odds were stacked against her, Sweetie thrived in her new home and made the most of her time.

She brought joy and laughter to her new family and they in turn showered her with love and devotion, knowing that their treasured family member was living on borrowed time.

As it became evident that Sweetie’s illness was progressing, a group from Angel City Pit Bulls took Sweetie and her a few other foster dogs on a hike to a mystical tree where people go to make wishes. Sweetie’s family wished only one thing: that in her remaining days, Sweetie would not feel any pain or discomfort and that she would give them a sign when it was time to make her journey to the Rainbow Bridge.

Sweetie passed away on New Year’s Day, surrounded by her friends-just nine and a half weeks after being adopted. In those nine and a half weeks, Sweetie changed the lives of her “forever” family and impacted many hearts.
