Ignorance has a body count. Thousands
of healthy, friendly, gentle PB's die every year due to fear and ignorance. Educate yourself, educate your friends...
I can't recommend this book highly enough.
The author takes a no-nonsense look at the media's role in shaping society's perception of "vicious" dogs.
This is a must-read for PB advocates. An excerpt: *
"Unfortunately,
as we see time and again, there never seems to be a shortage of persons using dogs as an extension of their violent tendencies,

The follow-up to Foster's beautifully written
tale of love and rescue, "Dogs I Have Met" is equally entertaining and insightful. You'll have a
hard time putting this one down too.
