Dog walker Eric Maus was taking a stroll through Prospect Park with a couple of clients, Gouda and Lily when he came across the saddest sight. There was a Pit Bull tied to a tree with a note attached. Eric approached with the two other dogs, and the gentle giant didn’t move an inch. She was very friendly and very loving.

Take me home. I’m a great dog. I’m 7 years old. Don’t let my size scare you. I’m sweet.

The dog walker knew he couldn’t leave her behind, but he wasn’t sure what to do. Prospect Park wasn’t a good place for a dog to be alone, yet here Mamas was.
