On sale at Amazon (fulfilled directly from the publisher) is this great Pit Bull Picture Book.
Pit Bulls are among the most misunderstood dog breeds. They’ve gotten a reputation for being aggressive and dangerous. But the truth is, a dog is just a reflection of the human who owns it. If a human “pack leader” is neglectful or ignorant or just plain cruel, that can cause any dog of any breed to develop antisocial behavior. Sadly, there are humans in the world who do breed these dogs for fighting or for attack. It’s a shame we can’t lock up those humans as quickly as we lock up the dogs.
With proper guidance, pit bulls can also be among the sweetest, calmest, most balanced dogs in the world. This book does a great job of showing various pit bull breeds showing their wonderful personalities. It has 82 portraits and stories of pit bulls, including celebrity dogs like Wallace the Pit Bull (the kind of canine frisbee), Phillies second baseman Chase Utley’s rescued pit bull Jack, and even 10 rehabilitated Michael Vick dogs.
10% of proceeds from sales of the book will be donated to animal rescue, with emphasis on pit bull rescue and advocacy groups.
