Pit bull from Michael Vick's kennel finds new spirit in Bethlehem .

BETHLEHEM - A stranger enters the way and the deep black pit bull slumps to the deck and lets out a faint growl from behind the gate to the kitchen.

Kathleen Pierce tells her dog, Jhumpa Jones, that it's OK. The gate opens. Jhumpa slowly stands up, trots toward the unfamiliar face, looks up with her soft, dark eyes and follows Pierce and her visitor to the kitchen table.
