WASHINGTON, March 29 /U.S. Newsdesk/ -- Ra, a pitbull mix who was abandoned 
after he refused to fight in illegal dog fighting contests was named the winner 
of The Humane Society of the United States' (HSUS) My Best Pet Friend Photo 
Contest, presented by the AVID FriendChip(tm) pet microchip. 
"Ra is truly an ambassador (for) his species," said Elisabeth Sikie, from 
Oakland, California. "We rescued him from the streets after being abandoned for 
refusing to fight, even though he was starved. His gentle nature, beautiful 
eyes, and intense commitment to play delight all who meet him. He loves our cats 
and allows our bird to roost on his head."
