-Aw, thank you! Hey, guys. Dane here with my girl, Cuddles
and we are here for Project for Awesome.
Now, if you don't know what that is,
it's a day when YouTubers get together
and make videos about their favorite charities
and nonprofit organizations
in order to try to make the world a better place.
Right, Cuddles? That's right. Aw, thank ya.
Now, the organization that I am supporting today
is called Angel City Pit Bulls.
-I'm Stephanie and I'm with Angel City Pit Bulls.
We are a 501(c)(3)-approved nonprofit
dedicated to creating a better future for pit bulls
while working to stop their abuse,
neglect, and overpopulation through public advocacy,
education, adoptions,
and responsible pet ownership/guardianship.
-Now, very often, pit bulls are made out
to be vicious attack dogs that are only good for fighting.
Now, as you can see, this is completely utterly not true,
but because of that, pit bulls are often abandoned and killed
in much higher numbers than any other breed of dog out there.
Now, Cuddles in particular had a really rough start in life
and she was actually moments away from death
when Angel City Pit Bulls came in and saved her.
Cuddles was brought into the South Los Angeles Animal Shelter
in late 2010. She had a horrible case of bilateral pneumonia.
She was skin and bones and very sick, but even so,
she was still a super-happy puppy
and extremely affectionate, and because of that,
that's how she got her name.
The staff started calling her Cuddles.
Cuddles was actually scheduled to be put down in a couple days,
but Angel City Pit Bulls came in, rescued her,
nursed her back to health, and put her up for adoption.
Now, to be honest,
I actually had preconceived notions about pit bulls.
I thought they had more of a tendency
to be mean and things like that,
but once you actually own a pit bull,
you know that's completely not true.
-Pit bulls are a very misunderstood dog and, you know,
in some states they actually ban them, which is a travesty,
because they are loyal fun puppy dogs for life
who are just so cuddly and awesome
and they're just so full of love.
-Harley is just a super-loving dog.
All she wants to do is love and play
and she loves people.
I think she thinks she is a person.
She thinks she is a person, but she's not.
Huh? You're just a big puppy.
Unfortunately, without a change in perspective from the media
and in the public eye,
these dogs are gonna be continued to be neglected,
continued to be left alone in shelters,
and ultimately put down.
-While we save the few that we can,
unfortunately, many others die on the exact same day
that we pull one from the shelter,
so we do like to say
that our dogs ride on the wings of many angels,
and that's why Angel City Pit Bulls
has a bit of a double entendre to the name.
-Without Angel City Pit Bulls, I would not have my best friend.
I actually get really sad when I think about
how Cuddles was only moments away from death.
She's the sweetest dog in the world and I cannot even--
I don't even want to think about her not being around
because she brings so much joy to my life every single day.
-All these guys really want is to be loved
and to love more than you give.
I mean, that's what pits are all about.
They are puppy dogs for life. I don't regret one second
of having this guy involved in my life.
-We originally fostered her in the thought
that we would just have her for a few days
until she could find a forever home,
but after having her for three days,
we just couldn't let you go, huh?
-And ultimately, I want other people
to be able to experience that love and affection,
so that's why I'm asking you to donate to Angel City Pit Bulls.
And if you can't or you're too young or whatever,
I'll do it for ya!
That's right. What I want you to do is,
for every like and comment on this video,
I'm gonna donate a penny to Angel City Pit Bulls.
So, spam the crap out of this video.
Spam for me, spam for Cuddles, spam for Angel City Pit Bulls.
Just know that whatever you do, as many comments as you write,
you're doing good. All right, guys.
Thank you so much for the love. From me and Cuddles
and everything else, we really, really appreciate it.
All right, guys. Until next time, say no to drugs,
say yes to... Cuddles! Aah...
-[laughing]: Get out of there.
Get out of there. What are you doing?
That's a bad place for Daddy to put treats, huh?
-Dog, give me five.
Give me five. Aw, yes!
