Sweatpea the Pitbull is a former bait dog who had an extremely tough start to life. Heaven is an adorable little 2-month-old calf who is blind.
Both have been through a lot in their short lives and both were to discover that good friends can come in all different shapes and sizes.
Meet Sweetpea and Heaven
Sweatpea and Heaven both arrived at Saving Grace Animal Society in Canada to join the sanctuary’s many rescued animals.
Heaven came from a dairy farm because she was too nervous and jumpy around the other animals on the farm.
Meanwhile, Sweetpea is believed to have been previously used as a bait dog for an underground fighting ring. The poor pup arrived at the shelter emaciated, with cuts all over her body. But despite her terrible start in life, Sweetpea revealed herself to be the most loving dog. Her wonderful, loving nature earned her the job as the sanctuary’s official greeter to all new rescues. Every new animal that comes to the sanctuary is introduced to Sweetpea.
Unbreakable bond
Most animals at the sanctuary eventually find their own forever homes and leave after being adopted. However, Sweatpea and Heaven will live out their days here, which is just as well.
From the moment they met, they instantly bonded and have since become inseparable. The pair can often be found hanging out together, sunbathing, playing, or grooming each other. Both animals seem to really enjoy each other’s company.
Heaven was recently given a custom-made cart to help her get around the sanctuary without bumping into things. The cart even has a built-in halo. She’s still adjusting to the cart and getting around, but she always has her best friend, Sweetpea, by her side to help her if she needs it.
