Hello My name is Hykeem Crippins, I am a resident of Greensboro,md of Caroline county. I am a dog owner of the pitbull/ bully breed . I train my babies and I care for them. I have done some training with other dog lovers of the  at pit/ownersbully breed at their residents and have had success on helping them with their trainings. I am more in it for the growth and opportunity to show other that's this breed can be just as great and loving as any other dog breed, and to give them a second chance. 

This breed has helped me grow and stay out of trouble. They truly changed my life around and how I handle life situations. When. I was very young my family went out looking for me because they couldn't find me. Something to my grandmother to look in out neighbors dog house (pit breed) and there I was laid up next to the dog sleeping in their with the dog. When I was 10 my mother passed away and my grandmother took my siblings and myself in under her own home. I was in a mindset where I did not care about anything and would get into trouble.When I was ready to cross the stage for my graduation a couple days before my father had passed and it hurt me. In 2016 my partner's father had passed away and I knew how she felt. I had gotten us our first daughter together (female dog)  when we had arrived back home. That day I spent all my time into her and ever since then I knew my passion and love that I had for the pit/bully breed was that I wanted to work with them. We had added on to the family and my love and passion grew more for them. We had a routine take them walking 3 to 4 times a day,play in the back yard with them. Train them on listening skills/ obedience. Took them to the beach,family gatherings, car rides, even hotels because we can't stand to be without them. We make sure to buy 3 to 5 bags of food every week even if it is our last dollar.

On August 23rd is when the nightmare began. I had received a call from my partner saying Caroline county Humane Society and cheif Lee of Greensboro department arrived a,took our babies. I was at work and had to leave and come straight home. No one had notified me only my partner and friend had to call and let me know. When I arrived our babies where gone. I did not even get to see them since that morning when I feed them,a gave them water before i I left for work.  I was told I was being charged for animal abuse. Apparently a neighbor had recorded an incident where I hit one of our dogs. But they did not have why. Why because we were trying to take them walking together and she tried to attack and get one our our youngest Chino (male dog) and then tried to bite me . But they did not get that or the fact that she was not squealing or hurt. And how she got right by my side and walked her back home. No bad condition or anything. I would not just beat my dogs just to beat on them. They are my heart and I know they miss us. They have not gone a day without us. They were well feed , cared for, and loved so much by us and our close , family,and friends . Everyone and anyone that knows me or see me in town knows how much my dogs mean to me and how I walked them faithfully, even if I'm tired from work I spend as much time as i can with them. It's been a week, and two days since they took them and I can not see them nor have any contact with them. I don't even go outside because it hurts to be without them,a knowing  they are not there. I look at their pictures everyday. I feel lost with out them. If I did not care about them then I would not be fighting this hard for them. It's just like police videos. People only catch a part but don't capture why it happened and the after . What happened afterwards. But cops have a right to shoot a dog because they were scared for their life and we're "protecting" themselves, but don't know what the dog was going to do. Please we want our babies back home where they should be  is all we asking for. Justice for our babies. We will keep fighting for them to return home with us their parents . We love you.

If you would like to help bring our babies back home. Please help us bring them home where they belong. If you support and know how much my dogs mean to me and how much we mean to them help us by signing this petition. Thank you will keep fighting till they are home with us.
