Review "Delise's exhaustively researched, often riveting account of how America's most respected dog became its most reviled takes us beyond the pitiable plight of the Pit bull. It goes to the heart of the storied bond between dogs and humans and the ways the latter often corrupts it for their own craven purposes. By dispelling common misperceptions about certain dog breeds, Delise successfully shifts the onus for problem dog behaviors back to where it should be: squarely on us." --Charles Siebert, author of Wickerby: An Urban Pastoral and Angus: A Novel
