All dogs are special, but living with a pit bull really is different. You know how loyal and lovable your dog is, but your life can be affected by the breed's undeserved reputation. The Pit Bull Life celebrates the everyday joys of owning a pit bull-from their boundless energy to their love of life-while providing helpful facts and strategies you need to counter unfair laws and policies you may face. You'll learn the history of how the pit bull got to where it is today and what you can do to help secure its future. You'll also find practical advice about breed characteristics, how to find a good match, and how to communicate with your dog, along with inspiring stories of people who've devoted their lives to this very special dog.

Reviews for The Pit Bull Life: A Dog Lover's Companion

A colorfully illustrated and thoughtful consideration of a type of dog who was once considered quintessentially American. Today, however, the words Pit Bull have become shorthand for something to be feared. The authors trace that transition and, continuing in Franklin's long-standing advocacy, inject the facts about these cheerful, resilient dogs into the national discussion. In doing so, they also provide a primer for Pit Bull owners, and potential owners.--Bark Magazine
