Bosier brought back Jennyfer Keohane’s family back together. Jennyfer lived in Texas with her two sons, Isaiah and Charles. They were diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, “which means they’re functioning but they have several issues with social behaviors” (Keohane). As her children became older, they were in a lot of stress at school, which caused them to mentally shut down and shun the world. This caused Jennyfer to give up her life and help her sons.

For example, a pit bull puppy is not a good suit for a family with young children. Humane America Animal Foundation state that if there are children in the household, a puppy would not be the best choice; “they have very limited control over their biting/mouthing impulses”. Overall, there are many factors involved when searching for the right dog. Such as if one were in the position to buy a puppy they should do more research than if they were getting another breed. Especially pit bulls, puppies may be tricky for the fact that it depends on the breeder on what kind of dog they are.
