The author has devoted her life to shattering the stereotype that pit bulls are dangerous, vicious predators. Here, she shares the harrowing but inspiring stories of nine incredible dogs that shaped her life. She captures the spirit and heart of these intelligent and loving canines, while carrying us behind the scenes of her TV show Pit Bulls & Parolees; into the heart of post-Katrina New Orleans; onto the soundstages of Hollywood films, and even to the jungles of Sri Lanka.--adapted from jacket
