Synopsis

Pit Bulls -- heroes or villains? Pit Bulls have made headlines all over the world but not for saving lives; rather they make the news when they attack. They are known by many names: American Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the generic American Pit Bull Terrier. There is mass confusion in the minds of the press and the public as to which dog to blame for the headlines. The Pit Bull family is bred for grace, power and agility. Known for its bite-inhibition, the Pit Bull can out pull a dog twice its weight and is a loveable and loyal family pet. Uncover the exploitation of these breeds, which have been done all in the name of sport. This book dispels the undeserved reputation foisted upon them.
