Ep 5. The Prodigal Son Returns

In Pit Boss season 3 episode 5, titled "The Prodigal Son Returns," we see the return of Shorty's former employee and close friend, Ronald. Ronald left the show in the second season to pursue a career in music, but has since returned to Shorty's team.

The episode starts with Shorty and his team rescuing a dog from a sewer drain in East Los Angeles. The dog, named Luna, is brought back to Shorty's rescue center where she will receive medical treatment and be prepared for adoption.

Ronald's return to the team isn't without its challenges, though. He quickly finds himself in over his head when he's tasked with training a difficult pit bull named Gremlin. As Shorty's right-hand man, he's expected to be able to handle challenging dogs, but Gremlin requires a different approach than what Ronald is used to.

Meanwhile, Shorty is dealing with his own issues as he tries to get to the bottom of a mystery involving one of his dogs. The dog, named Lola, went missing for several days before being found with a mysterious wound on her neck. Shorty is determined to figure out what happened to Lola and prevent it from happening again.

As the episode progresses, we see Ronald struggling to connect with Gremlin and gaining a new appreciation for the work that Shorty does. With the help of the rest of the team, he's eventually able to break through to Gremlin and make progress in his training.

Shorty's investigation into Lola's injury leads him to a surprising conclusion that has far-reaching implications for the safety of all the dogs in his care.

In the end, the team comes together to help Luna find her forever home and the future of Shorty's rescue center looks brighter than ever. "The Prodigal Son Returns" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the resilience and dedication of Shorty and his team as they work to better the lives of pit bulls and other animals in need.
