Pit Bulls and Parolees/Tear Jerker

• One of the most potent was when Tia found out that she had to decide right then and there whether her husband would take a deal for a 15 year prison sentence or go to trial and risk a life sentence. They chose to take the deal.
• When Tia's daughters come back from New Orleans with a live rescued dog and the remains of one who died alone under an overpass, and Tia takes them up the hill to give her a final resting place. The real Tear Jerker hits when all the dogs start howling in unison as if they knew what was going on.
• The start of Season 3 completely negating the heartwarming finale of Season 2, as the community they were going to move into protests their building a shelter. By spewing all the hateful stereotypes about the breed and the workers that Tia and the Villalobos Rescue Center have been fighting to prove wrong.
