The photographs of the pups are beautifully done, and all of the pups look so happy you can't help but smile. The intro features background history about the breed, and current discussion topics such as BSL and stereotypes and their truths, myths, as well as a dedication to the dogs she photographed and her mission for completing the project. She also includes a page of resources, advocacy groups, and eduational websites. Each page is dedicated to a different little pittie and tells their tale of rescue (dogfighting cases, owner surrenders, stray, some heartbreaking at first, but all with happy endings!), just to further prove how resilient these amazing creatures can be. Oh....and for a little extra $ you can order a custom cover with a picture of your pittie on the front!
If you read "Our Story" you know that we live in a rural area in VA where there is little awareness for Pit Bulls. The people I meet on a daily basis are one extreme or the other, they either love the little pitties, or they have a preconcieved notion of what a pittie is, and most of the time a fear. This book is a great way to educate people about this breed! The pictures capture your attention and the faces of these gorgeous pups makes you smile and want to read more. Very excited to share it!
The book also features a section dedicated to the Vick Dogs. For anyone who has not read The Lost Dogs by Jim Gorant....that is another must read. For everyone who has....Melissa McDaniel does a beautiful job of following up on their happy tale of perseverance and survival.
