Ask any dog lover and they'll say their favourite breed is special but living with a pit bull is different. Pit bull owners know what a bad reputation the breed has. The Pit Bull Life is a celebration of the breed and its owner, with heartwarming rescue stories, a history of the breed, and photos of puppies and seniors. It is also a guide to help owners who need to stand up for their pets. This book provides information on breed characteristics, how to find a good match, and how to navigate the challenges of pit bull ownership.

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
