Pit bulls often get a bad reputation for being vicious and dangerous animals, yet this sweet pit bull named Molly is proving that not even a painful accident with a train can squash her loving and happy spirit.
Molly had darted in front of an Amtrak train in a tunnel in Baltimore late last January, and was found by officer Kevin McMullen covered in blood, cuts, and a severed back leg. Despite her incredibly painful and deadly injuries, Molly’s first instinct was to cover him in kisses.
Molly lost her hind leg and parts of her tail in the accident, and miraculously survived after being rushed to get treatment at BARCS Animal Shelter. As she healed, officer McMullen kept coming by to visit and each time Molly laid eyes on him, she lit up and couldn’t stop giving her kisses.
Just a few weeks later, McMullen decided to officially adopt Molly and brought her home on Valentine’s Day to be part of the family along with girlfriend Claire, and their three dogs and one cat.
So far, Molly has already found her favorite spot on their crowded sofa right next to her new human dad and rescuer. “She has already taken over the couch, so she must know she is finally in her forever home,” McMullen said.
