A wandering pit bull named Rush was a little nervous when he arrived at the SISCA Pet Adoption Center.
The shelter staff went out of their way to make him feel comfortable, including giving him plenty of hugs, treats, and a comfortable bed.
And it was this bed that ended up making Rush famous. One day, a volunteer at the shelter came by and saw Rush making the bed!
Rush started making his bed every day.
And so, a volunteer at the shelter decided to shoot a video of Rush’s unique behavior. They shot about a minute of Rush footage carefully moving its cover.

SICSA uploaded the video to YouTube. To their surprise, it quickly went viral, receiving over 2.5 million views. SICSA posted a sweet photo on their Facebook page celebrating their internet-famous pup.
The shelter received tons of requests from news organizations wanting to feature Rush.
The shelter used this platform to explain why pit bulls are such great pets.
“There are a lot of negative stereotypes about the American pit bull.
