BEAUX (BO)
Beaux's story is one of a hero. He made front page news out here in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. It happened one Spring day, when a little 12 year old got off the school bus in her neighborhood like she did everyday. And every day, the "neighborhood dog", Bo (Beaux) would run to greet her and follow her to her house. I say "neighborhood dog" because everyone took care of him. The rumor was he had an owner but they didn't take good care of him and let him run the streets. So the neighbors took turns feeding him and letting him hang out in their house. But on this particular day, Bo was not himself. Instead of the frolicking pup, he was frantic. He barked at the little girl and kept running in circles towards the field that paralleled the canal. It was like a scene from Lassie. Bo kept barking and trying to get the little girl to follow him. She finally gave in and found herself looking over the edge of the bridge and down into the canal. With Beaux still frantically barking, the little was horrified at what she saw. In the murkey water was what appeared to be a dead dog or at least a dog near death. With most of his body submerged under water, only his head lay on a lily pad. Between Beaux's barking and the little girl's yelling, the almost drowned dog barely moved. The little girl with Beaux at her side ran to her house and got her Grandmother and by now neighbors ran to assist in the rescue of the dog in the canal. With the fear of poisonous snakes and alligators, the rescue became more serious as they tried to throw a rope down and loop the dog. Finally animal control had to be called in with the proper tools to reach down from the bridge. The big Pit/Hound mix was finally pulled to safety and as he lay there in the grass with his saviors trying to revive him and make sure he would make it, the littlest hero of them all: Beaux licked his face trying his best to make sure his new buddy was going to be okay. The "canal dog" now named "Lucky" was taken to the animal shelter to receive medical care, leaving behind little Beaux still living on the street. When we got the call from the little girl's family, we not only came to Beaux's rescue but also went to the shelter to get Lucky. Beaux has turned out and with no surprise to be one of the smartest dogs ever! He's very very sweet with everyone he meets but can be a little apprehensive when meeting new dogs. He eventually warms up to them and is very playful. Beaux is also very athletic and will need a secure yard. So if you're looking for a hero in your life, this little dude is a winner!

Got something to say?
After watching tonight’s episode, I want to adopt this dog sooooo bad. He is so special and deserves the best home ever.

I love Beaux Bo he is such a wonderful dog. I live in Indiana and I do have a pet , my cat Pookey,
I was wondering if I could send Bo toys or treats from him?
I volunteer at the local Humane Society will have saved lots of dogs and cats
YOU DO WONDERFUL WORK Thank You, Amy
Cute dog!
There has only been one dog that has made me come to your site an Bo is that dog if I didn’t live in florida I would be there today after last nights episode to adopt him I pray he finds a home he is almost an identical twin to my jazmine R.I.P breaks my heart that I cannot adopt this dog
When I watched this episode lastnight, I couldn’t help but tear up because its not often you find people that help, and want to speak up. Tia your an amazing woman and you truely inspire me <3
So has this story made the news instead of a story about a pit that attacked someone? Pits are wonderful smart stubborn beautiful dogs! Let’s spread positive pit tales out there!
i saw that show and cried with you when you had to leave
him in the shelter. hope he finds a great home. God bless
you for all you do
When I watched that episode I cried when you
Brought him to the shelter but I knew you would
Never have him put down, he was so sweet.. You are am amazing
Person and I look forward to watching your show
Every week and have been watching since the
Beginning .. Keep up the wonderful work
I enjoy everything about your actions and organization; I anticipate to be better fiscally fit to donate due to “you are all an extension” of my human/animal ethics.
Your actions and organization are totally human/animal oriented – and I will soon be more fiscally fit to put my money where my mouth is.
If I can take Beau and Lucky I am willing to go meet them! If I just get one of them, I will be satisfied. Two wonderful dogs!
What a sweet story Beaux has. I hope he will find a loving home soon. For someone not to take him, they sure would be missing out on a great companion.
Beaux looks exactly like my Yuffie! I’m so glad this beautiful dog no longer has to fun the streets!
After watching Beaux’s episode I am so in love with him. I currently live at home with my parents and they have 3 dogs. If Beaux is still with Villalobos once I have a secure place for him you better believe Ill pay whatever amount of money to make sure his life is nothing short of amazing! He inspired me and I love him already. Thank you Tia for all that you do and I love the show.

My daughter and I watched the episode with Beaux. We both loved him and his kind heart. I have another doggie at home and wish we could add him to our family!!!
I am completely in love with this dog. My mom doesn’t like dogs very much but I can’t help but feel a connection with this pup. Gorgeous Pit!
Loved the episode with Beaux and Lucky. I can’t believe he hasn’t been adopted yet. He radiates friendliness– what a great dog!
After hearing what this dog did i thought he save a life and he should get a good home. i hope he find a good home some day
