Rescuers Find Missing Toddler When They See Her Pit Bull After 11 Days
Pit Bulls Can Be Deadly
She had been warned not to rescue that dog by her husband. In an attempt to dissuade her from bringing it home, he presented all the facts to her.
“Pit bulls are renowned for their deadly bite force and killing instinct!” he had declared. She refused to listen.
Her tears flowed as the eleventh day began. Is it possible that her dog actually did this to her child?
Tragedy Hit
Sadly, for Terry, this was only one of the worst things that happened that month. Her firstborn was hospitalized after an accident, and now her lastborn was missing as well.
She wondered why the universe wasn’t doing anything for her kids as she stood at the window, staring at the stormy clouds looming over her neighborhood.
How could she continue to live if they might not?
Kind Hearted Mother
As a mother, Terry Sheffield was always easygoing and had a kind heart.
Having two children, eight-year-old Matt and two-year-old Aisling, in West Virginia made life more than perfect for her and her husband, Jim.
In her small town, Terry owned a thriving bakery. She had mastered the art of balancing her personal and professional lives.
Happy On The Outskirts Of Town
On the outskirts of their town, Terry lived with her family. There was a stretch of woods in their backyard that was both beautiful and terrifying. White sheets of snow would cover everything in winter, and orange leaves would cover everything in fall.
Her husband, Jim, was a teacher at the high school. In his efforts to provide Terry with everything she wanted, he had worked hard.
Until disaster struck, she thought her life would be perfect.
Family Pet
It had always been discussed in the Sheffield family that they might get a pet. Dogs are the best choice for them, they all agreed.
As theirs was the farthest house in the community, Terry wanted one to watch over the house, while Jim wanted one to accompany him hiking.
They wanted a dog to play with in their backyard so Matt and Aisling could run around. The family had no idea what they were getting into.
