 still not what I was looking for... October 17, 2008
Jessica L. Lawrence (North Carolina)
I thought that most of the book had a good overtone, but there were still a sort of warning in the book about the breed. I have never had my pits act in a "pit" manner, just a dog manner... they are always kenneled together, and have never been separated more than a couple days in their entire lives. I just think that this book, while trying to be good, has too much cautionary advice in it. They are dogs first, pits second... which means they have skin problems, are adorable, goofy, crazy tolerant, and can clear coffee tables with a single swipe of a tail... not some deranged neighbor-killing machine or a must be under constant supervision at all times to not attack another dog/family member, at least no more than any other dog... if any pit owners are looking for a book for some limelight on their dogs, I'm not sure this is it, although it's much better than some other books I've found...
 BRAVO !!!!! December 22, 2006

My hat goes off to Dawn Capp for her dedication to helping this breed and for writing this book. This book is perfect for handing out to your neighbors (who think "pit bull" equals "vicious man killer" due to years of being bombarded by the bias media propaganda and misinformation) when you bring home your new Bulldog pup or rescue dog. It is informative and to the point so it is a quick read that holds your interest. It really hits home on how persecuted these poor animals are, and paints a true picture of how wonderful these dogs really are. This is a must have for any breed advocate or new Pit Bull owner to help pave the way to a more favorable public image of our breed.
Great Book! January 28, 2005
